    Who will be ignored next?

    • Sudan
    • Myanmar
    • Armenia
    • Afghanistan
    • Tibet

    These aren’t next, these are already forgotten even though they’re catastrophes. Hell, even Ukraine is being forgotten even though it’s one the biggest wars in 21st century. When India and Pakistan looked like they were about to go to war, this Israel/Palestine war was also pushed to the back of people’s minds.

    I think this is the just the nature of humans. People want to think they’re noble and righteous, but they won’t actually do anything, and the moment a new war starts they’ll move on to that because it’s new and we have short attention spands.

        I didn’t forget syria. The fact the west is perfectly content with an ex isis leader just tells you everything you need to know about their moral high ground

      I think it’s media bias and sensationalism. It happens when journalism has a profit incentive and is owned by 4 or 5 oligarchs/ultra-wealthy.
