Where is the outrage? Where have all the "humans" gone? Israel slaughtered over 300 innocent civilians in Gaza last night. Most of them women and children.
None of those with #Ukraine, #Canada, #Mexico and #EU flags on their profile raising their voice condemning this outrageous crime.

The sheikh wandered around the city with a lamp
I'm tired of all the devils and the death, and seeking one human
They said it cannot be found, we have searched, As we said before
That which cannot be found I desire
Rumi
دی شیخ با چراغ همی گشت گرد شهر
کز دیو و دد ملولم و انسانم آرزوست
گفتند یافت می نشود جسته ایم ما گفت
آن که یافت می نشود آنم آرزوست

There is only so much capacity for people to pay attention to stuff. Eventually people get numbers to this kind of tragedy. It's a defense mechanism.

That is how it works. Usually.
You don't have the energy or time to be brothered about the atrocities happening in the world, specially when the victims are not relatable to most the "civilized westerners".
I'm sorry I don't buy this.
I say they CHOOSE to not see it for their own selfish benefit and it might inconvenience their little bubble.
They know they are part of the system and that they are guilty AF.
The system is designed and shaped around you not having any time or energies to do anything that isn't what you are told to do.
Yeah, it's not that. I have yelled at people, snapped at my friends, and family over what's happening in Gaza. There is only so much a person can handle mentally. For the record, I do not support what is happening, and I will not sit here and listen to someone tell me this is my fault. I am one God damn person. They are deporting and arresting the people protesting for Gaza here in the U.S.
In addition to this I feel like there is severe fatigue over conflict in the middle east. It just seems like an absolutely neverending shit storm of violence and turbulence and no matter what there will be fighting. I'm an old bastard at this point and it genuinely feels like every day of my life there has been something going on over there. It always sucks and it's always a tragedy but if it goes on long enough people just grow numb to it. It's normalized to a large extent now. It sucks.
Arundhati Roy mentioned! I love her books!
