Someone just called this post “pearl clutching” in this very thread. We’re fucked.
Dang dude, I guess everyone upset over the October 7th Hamas attacks are “pearl clutching” because Israelis died. “It’s just war, bro”
I believe they are referring to the selective outrage that this conflict has generated. Far more innocent civilians have been killed in places like Syria, Tigray, Yemen and Ukraine, but none of them, not even Ukraine, has generated anywhere near the amount of outrage among parts of the left as has the situation in Gaza.
All I know is I have heat, fresh water, plenty of food, and today is my day off. The last people who were indiscriminately killed on these lands was 200 years ago and the biggest looming threat is NAZIs who I am not a target of other than my controversial political speech.
Can I be the most callous now? There are millions of us.
Just wait until they find out about the Iraqi war. 1 million dead civilians. We technically committed genocide based on a lie.
No one from that administration has been held accountable despite us now knowing that they knew it was a lie at the time (WMDs). If there was any justice Dick Cheney would have been hung long ago.
