>"I find it weird that when it comes to Saudi Arabia the vast majority of Americans seem to only care about Kashoggi and when to comes to Libya Americans seem to care only about four Benghazi Embassy workers. It occupies 99% of the outrage space."
The majority of the Americans I know care about human rights, gender equality, freedom of expression, freedom of the press, and democracy. The macabre and brazen murder of Kashoggi intersects with more than a couple of those concerns. The people responsible intersect with all of those concerns. There is not shortage or reason's to be outraged.
Your inclusion of Bhengazi here is truly absurd.
- EGreg 7y agoNothing absurd about it. Benghazi is an even more egregious example of the phenomenon I mentioned. The phenomenon is the amount of outrage at what happens to four Americans while at the same time hardly any coverage of the MILLIONS of non-Americans who have to live and face atrocities in the failed state of Libya we helped destroy. That’s the phenomenon, Kashoggi is just another example.
