Yeah, while this story joins the mass of stories that get flagged off the front page. Right now, one opportunity to be moral and show solidarity was given to you, and this is how you used it -- you aren't making a thread to help with what you use to belittle this, you use one atrocity to cover another, and think you're better than "most Westerners".

It's not primarily about who does bad things, it's about the victims, and how to help them. That's what empathy is, and that's why punishing evildoers even matters, not because the evildoers do. And yeah, I said evildoers instead of bending over backwards to say the same thing in more bloated language.



The victims need to be acknowledged by those who enable the perpetrators of the crimes.

I myself have helped multiple refugee families get their lives back together again. You?

Nah, I dont engage in and normalize sophistry, and still acknowledge them, and I don't use straw men to look the other way.
