My hunch is that this is just one of the many consequences of our filter bubble culture. It’s just so easy to see the horrible news and choose to focus on something else instead. I remember experiencing this myself a couple months ago after reading an absolutely terrifying account of sexual violence from a survivor of one of the camps. I almost threw up reading the piece, which I don’t think I’ve ever experienced before, and it took days for me to get the visceral images of the described events out of my head. I just couldn’t keep reading about the camps after that because it was just soul-crushing to read. I can’t begin to imagine what they’re going through, but attempting to made me sick to my stomach. Unfortunately, I think it’s going to take images or video footage to get the public’s attention on this, just as we’ve seen with police brutality cases. The effort to read about what’s happening is just too much effort for most people.
