Where was this outrage before?

Seems like you guys only start giving a shit when it’s affecting you. Where was the outrage when they were silencing Taiwanese people? Where’s the outrage for them suppressing and censoring what’s happening to the Uyghur Muslims in china? Y’all have had a field day on an app that actively hurts and silences the voices of its own people. Supporting this app in anyway shape or form is disgusting. I just find it funny that people on Reddit are upset about it. Like the most woke app ever and y’all are perfectly fine with shit until it’s affecting you directly. Big shocker. This is almost as funny as activists playing marvel rivals 😂

Let me give you guys another example of how the CCP works. There’s a new viral game that was released called MARVEL RIVALS. At first glance you see the game and think oh this is a Disney game because Disney owns marvel. Nope, it’s a Chinese game in collaboration with marvels IP. Now , this game is rated 10+ for age. You can’t type “ free Taiwan , free Hong Kong , or even Winnie the Pooh “ into the chat box. It’s flagged as “ inappropriate content “ there’s a slew of other terms you can’t use but why the fuck would a game targeting children need to censor the term free Taiwan. We need to wake up.

Breaking news: redditor learns that people typically don't care about things that don't affect them. More at 8.

(it's a shame the world works this way, but what can you do but keep trying to change)

I get that sometimes things just don't make it onto your radar so don't know what is happening. Almost 9 million people have been displaced, over 3 million people have fled, and over 150,000 have been killed in Sudan due to the Sudanese Civil War, but almost nobody talks about it.

Tbh I hadn’t even heard about those things…hard to argue for things you don’t know about.

Even more than that. The talking heads on TV who were freaking out about TikTok and who freaked out about Hillary Clinton sending email with a private server now say nothing when the world's richest person hired 20-something year old black hat hackers to break into America's Social Security Administration and download financial and medical records of all 230 million citizens onto his private servers. He has no security clearance and neither does his private hackers.

People can’t be outraged at things they don’t know about.

What do you actually know about taiwanese and uyghurs besides what CIA told you? Which of those two places have you actually lived in for any period of time?

How could we be outraged if we don’t even know it’s a thing.

I think the term you're looking for is emotional/cultural proximity.

I mean, isn't that how most people operate? Caring more about things that you relate to more? Anyway, good message regardless and more power to you.
