I feel when Bucha happened in Ukraine still a lot of people were shocked and outraged. But somehow this extreame achievement of the human race to formulate human rights and at least try to defend them is withering away.
- Genocide in Gaza, meh.
- Genocide in Nagorno-Karabakh whatever.
- Genocide in some African country again? They always have some genocide going on there
- Genocide in Xinjang? Look they are dancing in the propaganda videos, how bad can it be?
- UK sending refugies from all over the world to Rwanda? They categorized it as a save country so what’s the Problem?
- Guantanamo is still open? We haven’t heard much about it for years, probably everything is ok there
I could go on and on. So is it just the times now that nobody wants WWIII so we are just looking the other way? Even worse, if you want to protest for human rights, you get into trouble, not just in dictatorship countries, but in Germany, US, etc.
Good that you are raising the outrage fatigue. At the same time I’d like to highlight that you are asking your question in the Fediverse which is probably a Western dominant world and it also depends who you are talking to in real life. The west has seen the Covid-19 pandemic which was, I’m sure, a shocker to a lot of people (though not everyone will admit that), and I am sure that the huge popularity of smart phone scrolling has made people change their attitude more indifferent. There is surely more to this like the invasion in Ukraine and the resulting inflation, and more “flex” work in many countries. Have a look at this image, which also shows why people have less time to care about more than their own problems : https://media.hachyderm.io/media_attachments/files/112/433/665/876/256/493/original/b858379a791385c9.jpg (Image posted in a post by a Unconditional Universal #BasicIncome (UBI) advocate) tl;dr Governments and companies and the super rich will keep people with lower income busy worrying about their own problems.
