    Whats crazy to me is the tone in which is it written. It is so causual. It somehow really seems like they see their work and what they do as a game not something with real consequences. Or am I just hallucinating?

      no it really is. there is a tweet not from a politician but from an american median voter that goes along these lines: “why cast your vote because of what’s happening to anonymized people in the global south?” (the last phrase was verbatim what was said, hand on heart.) truly, to these people, distance from all of this allows them to completely abstract the ideas of human suffering or other humans outside of their bubble existing. i have no doubts that these trifles, like children men and women starving, have not been anything more than numbers to almost every political ghoul in the west for years. that’s how they get into the position they’re in, it’s the only way.
