    i wonder; when (and if) the dust settles over the genocide if the bbc and other publications like the ny times will go back to business as usual.

    it get that it’s a natural inclination to say yes because we’ve always done so in the past; but we have the horrors of this genocide reported to the general public on social media instead of a few channels patroned by intellectuals and no one else.

      They did it after Iraq. Possibly more younglings have learned this time. But do not underestimate the stupidity of boomers.

        no, they haven’t, they’ve gotten more conservative; if my sizeable millennial and genz family members are any indication.

        in my youth; we would dance & drink the night away on holidays like xmas and easter. the younger generations want to go to church and have the children give thanks to jesus; we’re growing more conservative as a country.
