Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

Libs have been unashamedly asking why people care about the genocide who aren't Palestinian; they know, they just don't care.
They repeat the mantra of Israel being a secular liberal democracy as though that justifies genocide.
They "know" but only in a technical sense. They've never bothered learning about the Palestinian people or their stories or their suffering, they just know abstract numbers and it's really easy to dehumanize numbers. That's also why they don't seek out this information - they don't want to be exposed to anything that challenges their ideas and the media is helping them do exactly that.
I can ask them the same about Ukraine. Eli Valley had a somber comic about the media’s framing of people fighting back.
