What do you do when people don't care? (self.asklemmy)

I'm dumbstruck as to what to do. The US is building literal concentration camps, and none of my co-workers care at all.

In fairness, I work in healthcare with an almost exclusively cishet white population who are financially well off.

Many of them espouse to be Christians, and no one cares at all that the American government is following the exact playbook from Nazi Germany.

What do you do? How do you make people care before it's too late?

I don't begrudge you for not knowing this, it certainly wasn't something that I was taught in school... But LGBTQ people, and trans people specifically, were among the first groups targeted by the Nazis in Weimar Germany.

I am well aware that communists were pretty high up on that list as well, but maybe there's a reason why the LGBTQ stuff wasn't taught to us in school...

Go ahead and do some of your own research on it if you don't believe me.
