Somehow, I get the feeling that the author couldn't care less about any of these conflicts and tragedies, and is only using them to lament the fact that his community cares about other conflicts and tragedies and he would be perfectly happy if the news and the people he mingles with only care about whatever happens in his perfect little Dutch town.
It's completely fine for people to have selective attention when it comes to causes they care about. There might also be many reasons why some people feel invigorated or called to action by certain human conflicts but not others.
Frankly, the article is disgusting and quite likely written by a Nazi.
- wizzwizz4 3y agoThe author's worldview is definitely bigoted to some degree, but this doesn't match the kinds of thing I've seen from American or British Nazi-wannabies. (Or TESCREAL adherents, my next closest match.) Perhaps it's a flavour of neoreactionary I'm not familiar with?
- mustafa_pasi 3y agoIt is a common argument fielded by people of questionable morals, typically by fake nationalists like the AfD and the Dutch counterpart (which the author of the article praised in an earlier blog post). I have heard it being used in various contexts but pretty much always, "why are we wasting time and effort caring about these brown (!!!) people, there are other unfortunate people having tragedies there, there, and there!"
