Smartphone users can do "very little" to stop security services getting "total control" over their devices, US whistleblower Edward Snowden tells the BBC in his first British TV interview.
Not the same person. I don’t read the news, and I try not to watch genocides. I’m poorly informed about most politics and pretty happy about it to be honest. Sounds like they should probably stop genociding, that’s usually a bad thing to do. But I’m not going to pretend I know what’s actually happening over there or that I can do anything about it.
All I hear is personal attacks. How is it disgusting privilege to just live my life? Your life would be exactly the same if you didn’t open the news. It’s just the news cycle preying on your sense of injustice and impotent rage for clicks and money. There’s literally nothing you can do to stop a country on the other side of the world from doing stuff. And being snarky and hostile to neutral parties isn’t going to gather you any more support or sympathy.
I support your right to declare ignorance! Your defence of it is incorrect.
There is not “literally nothing” you can do to resist genocide in another part of the world.
In this case, there’s the opportunity to pressure your legislators into international action. There is the individual personal responsibility to avoid funding the genocide through purchases, and in business as well. Then there are activists who can help one be more effective.
The implication that none of this works is fatalism that is blind to the push and pull of history. Get out and push, if you can. If you can’t, then at least learn what you can about why others care so much–before joining the conversation about it.
No offence, but I don’t feel like this thread is the right place for any kind of rational discussion. You can use your imagination for what the mod removed comments contained
Petulant whining. I’m sure you aren’t, but are you familiar with how apartheid in South Africa was addressed? You aren’t powerless to affect change, unless you plug your ears and ignore it.
nobody gives a fuck about neutral parties lmao. You’re admitting you’re willfully ignorant of important facts, then adding “should probably stop genociding” like yeah, “probably”, dude.
You act like you don’t wanna take shit seriously and then expect people to take you seriously, you must be very dense, or young.
It’s just the news cycle preying on your sense of injustice and impotent rage for clicks and money.
Truly enlightened state of mind. I wonder why you bother thinking down into the realm of us sheep, you must really be interested in social issues “on both sides”, huh?

… Jesus Christ dude 🤮
You got a problem, mate? Or you just going to be passive aggressive via emoji?
The problem is your disgusting privilege.
Nice username by the way. Bonus points for irony
What are you on about lol
