Hey just a fucking reminder that people can care...
like it’s all well and good educating yourself about shit that’s going on but if mainstream media outlets aren’t reporting on it then how are we supposed to know in the first place
I only just learned wtf is happening about China and Hong Kong this morning because previously all I knew was that Jackie Chan had weighed in on it and people were mad at him
EXACTLY. There’s just SO MUCH going in right now in general in the world, like everything is going to shit and we can’t just be angry at people who don’t know because something has passed through the cracks and they’re upset about something that doesn’t REALLY matter to them on a large scale but matters to them personally
like definitely we should be like “hey, this is important and you should be aware of this!” but being like “GET YOUR PRIORITIES STRAIGHT WHY DID YOU SPEND YESTERDAY CRYING ABOUT A FICTIONAL CHARACTER WHEN THIS THING YOU HAD NO WAY OF KNOWING ABOUT WAS HAPPENING” is just...unhelpful and kind of serves only to stroke the person who made the post’s ego? like at that point you’re not even doing it to help, you’re just doing it because haha I know about this thing and you don’t and this makes me more Woke(TM) than you
idk man the older I get the more I realize if this shit isn’t about empathy what’s the fucking point
