OK. I don't think you actually believe my posts are equating the situation of Rohingya and non-Japanese-blood people, or presenting any situation in black & white terms: not doing so was the entire intent of my posts, and I hope it was clear I desire an outcome where these people can live in peace. I just also believe that over simplifying the issue is not best and most realistic means to achieve good outcome, which I think should be the primary motivator not uninvolved people's desire to posture around simplified moralisms. Too often IMHO abstract rights are vaguely invoked with narrow focus on specific situation and ignorance of both broader context of that situation and of the abstract rights themselves, in an inconsistent manner which is inherently incompatabile with serious consideration of those ideals.

Example being Crimea, which is abruptly dismissed as territorial theft by Russia, ignoring Ukraine own law violated by Nazi-backed coup illegaly removing President and purging judges, breaking chain of legitimacy of Constitutional Court the only body empowered to rule over matters concerning Crimean autonomous region (not normal part of Ukraine), i.e. collapse of legitimacy of larger state is the most favorable situation for legitimate excercise of self-determination that one could think of. (broader topic there even more complicated, but that simple direct legal context is remarkable for being ignored by those invoking "legalisms") Anyway... offtopic

You must be so cool to link a genocide to your political beliefs, you sick fuck.

The west (and Facebook) only "prays for" certain countries. Mostly European countries and countries Americans can point out on a map within 6 attempts.

That's strange. The oil industry is quite strong in Myanmar. Guess they're too busy in the middle east...

I'm actually kinda curious. How much did the US report on the Rwandan Genocide? That country had little relation with the US but did seem to receive some coverage. Very strange case.

Step one is raising awareness. We will never truly stop this genocide until people know about its existence.

Blacks in America were never 100% free until people spoke out. Afterwords, the solution may be different to everyone. 

Genocides of any kind will never be acceptable. Sad to see some people support them.

There've also been about 400 deaths and 1100 injuries resulting from mass shootings in the US so far this year, and that's not being reported on either. So of course the media isn't going to report on the genocidal tactics going on in a non-western country.

Didn't you get the memo? It's only when the murders are perpetrated by Muslims that the media goes into a frenzy reporting about it. If Muslims are being killed, the media doesn't care.

So people hate us because we're the world police or nah? How can you pick and choose who to overthrow. The world doesn't want the US to play that role. I don't see why they're obligated to do so.

I mean, I don't even know how you can lie about this. I've read dozens of articles about how guns are bad mkay and showing the increase in mass shootings.

Good news: There is a very large amount of awareness being raised over this topic:

Uh-oh, Russia? That doesn't seem right.

Here's the not-so-good news:

It is being done by this guy (he is the one smiling at Putin)
:

He claims to be Putin's soldier...

...and he has a massive Instagram following. Around 2.9 million followers!

Just another perspective to take care of ;)
