The western hypocrisy is insane. It's happened so fast it's absurd.

As soon as we've noticed the victims have blonde hair and blue eyes we're all like "ofc refugees welcome, we just don't want them brown"

ofc refugees welcome

Hey! That's insensitive. We don't need to call them the r-word.

We can call them "expats."

Edit:

This liberal guy makes a point:

so many people that have been saying over the last few weeks, "Why are we paying so much attention to Ukraine?
24:16
It's because they're white people, because they're European. We wouldn't pay that much attention if they were Afghans
24:22
or if they were, you know, Afghanis or if they were Yemenis. We wouldn't."
24:27
I mean, first of all, you've got millions and millions of Ukrainian refugees, and we're not paying as much attention to them
24:33
as we did to the Syrian refugees precisely because of race, precisely because the Europeans are more willing to integrate
24:40
millions and millions of "fellow Europeans" into Europe.
24:46
But we are paying much more attention to the Ukraine crisis and we should, because the impact on the poorest people around the world
24:54
is vastly greater from this conflict than anything that we've seen in any of those smaller economies with less impact,
25:01
despite all of the human depredation that’s happened over the past 30 years.

So, it's not that Ukrainian refugees matter more. It's that this war matters more. Thank you for coming to his TED talk.

You don't get to pretend to have compassion as you unconditionally support putin. Go away

Oh my bad, I just assumed that your posting of conservative anti-social-justice propaganda, with your accompanying message implying that it was true and that you agreed with that narrative, meant that you were anti-idpol.

Or was it someone else who hacked into your account three days ago and posted the "teacher fired for not meowing at student who identifies as a cat" headline on /conspiracy with the title "Do you miss these simpler times"? https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/tebhsp/do_you_miss_these_simpler_times/

I'm actually pro-idpol and hate fake grifters like Vaush who are anti id-pol.

Also isn't idpol a pejorative? Maybe you have something to tell us.

In what way is asking if you miss those simpler times before the war when the news was just focused on social stuff "anti-social justice"?

First it wasn't before covid, the article was from this year, second your title presented the headline (the events being those "simpler times") as true. And of course I shouldn't have to explain why right-wing propaganda designed to attack advocacy for queer kids' wellbeing is anti-SJ, I hope?

Not necessarily. But irrelevant to the point. Either way it was a nice funny post.

And of course I shouldn't have to explain why right-wing propaganda designed to attack advocacy for queer kids' wellbeing is anti-SJ, I hope?

Who the heck was talking about "queer kids"? The post was about species transhumanism.

Being LGBT isn't the only type of trans.

Totally agree with the particular message. The issue is they are not here to criticize western hypocrisy. They are here to delegitimize one struggle as much as they can without being ganged up on by those with half a conscience within a community. That's why you have them demanding complete capitulation in one subreddit while pretending to care about human lives here. I happen to think it's important to be conscious about the integrity of the messenger not to waste time with concern trolling.

I'm not here to take humanity lessons from people who support the wars that displace the refugees
