As with the other commenter, I doubt you care about the genocide in Sudan or Myanmar and singularly mean Palestine. After all, we POC here in the States are so clearly expendable to you why would you care about most other POC abroad? With Palestine you get to meme on Israel all day (which is where the caring starts and ends as the online left is so averse to putting in work to effect change but somehow expect to win a revolution someday lol). With Sudan, Myanmar, there's no reward from that as there's no state with near the notoriety of Israel to meme on and it's not like you're going to actually put in work so why bother?
Genocides are bad. Your tax money and weapons of mass destruction are being used to systematically eradicate one particular people. I do care about Sudan and Myanmar, as I said all genocides are bad, the only difference is that YOU are directly responsible for Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran. Does that help clear things up?
Multiple bullshit wars and what's going on in Palestine. I hate all of it. I believe in taxes to fund infrastructure, social programs, etc but until the status quo changes of bloat for the former and austerity for the rest, I find reducing my taxable income an ethical thing to do. But I find this an interesting argument to make. If you're a part of the West, unless you don't pay taxes, your money has almost certainly gone to fund some sort of neo-imperialist agenda -- presumably also against your will.
Great, now how are you effecting change on these besides typing words?
I don't own that. IMO getting Kamala in would have been a temporary insult while getting people in Congress who take no AIPAC money and obstruct, obstruct, obstruct. It's a tactic that works. Then next presidential election with time to find non-AIPAC presidential candidates replace her. Apathy let Trump in who was actually the only one stupid enough to go to war in Iran and pour gasoline on the former issues.
