I sympathize with your consternation about there not being any “outrage” because you are clearly understanding the hypocrisy of the “outrage” that exists about other things. I must assume based on your short statement though that you are not aware that the “outrage” is wholly astroturfed and essentially a weapon system in order to activate another weapon system called public opinion. Until one understands who, how, and why those two loops are controlled, everything else regarding public opinion space is a dead end matter. Just take the current Ukraine topic that the public has been whipped into a hate-week type frenzy about that reminds me of post-9/11 (if most here are even old enough to have first hand memories of that, or know what the hate-week references); that conflict is now at least 8 years old, when the USA and “collective west” launched a despotic coup against the country to install a friendly government, while crying out “our democracy”, followed with 8 years of atrocities against people in the eastern part of the country that no longer wanted to be a part of that and chose to vote to peacefully separate. Most people so outraged about “Ukraine” have no clue what they are supporting or doing or even that they were totally ignorant of atrocities happening for the last 8 years. They don’t even know where Yemen is, or the 5 Ws, because the TV programming has not programmed them to in order to serve the interests of the programmers of humans.

It must be nice living in US(I assume) and being able to be an armchair expert on this. Meanwhile my family is already housing several refugees in their homes and hastily getting their passports renewed in case Russia moves a little bit west. The war is real and affecting real people. But yes, please explain to us how not being familiar with the conflict in Yemen is making my outrage at conflict in Ukraine somehow ignorant. I'm listening.

  No need to be self-righteously snarky. The point you seem to have missed is that you seem to be totally unaware that the war has been "real and affecting real people" for 8 years now when the USA and it's western CIA lackeys completed their orchestrated "color revolution" to depose and install a puppet regime in the Ukraine that then started murdering people in the eastern provinces of ethnically Russian people who decided they don't want to be part of a western vassal state that hates them, abuses them, and discriminates against them. The point being is that people are hypocritical, usually out of ignorance of what is really going on in the world outside of what the programming on the tele-screen has conditioned them to hate during hate week. (In case you did not catch it; those odd terms were references to themes of the shockingly prophetic seeming Orwell novel 1984.)

The "despotic coup" was a popular uprising. To put "8 years of atrocities" in perspective - according to the official DNR statistics for 2021, Ukrainian mortar and artillery strikes have killed a grand total of 77 people that year, of whom 7 were civilians. That's two orders of magnitude less than what Ukraine has already suffered in two weeks of Russian invasion. Vote to peacefully separate? You mean those 2014 referendums that were so blatantly fraudulent, the result was announced less than two hours after the vote ended, and the number of "yes" votes was an exact percentage of the total? And no, I don't get all this from American news. I'm a Russian citizen, and I have friends and relatives in Russia as well as Ukraine.
