There are several genocides happening in the world, hearing that people die during genocides shouldn't be particularly surprising, right?
Given the magnitudes of those involved, it seems likely they'd fill the headlines.
That said, perhaps you meant, "I would prefer to not know" or "I would prefer to not be reminded" about these genocides?
- gloflo 2y agoThe climate would be more important. Global economy. Local issues. All more relevant and important to someone not directly affected by one of those wars.
- agapon 2y agoThose wars do affect climate. They do affect global economy.
- whaaaaat 2y agoImagine thinking a genocide was not relevant to you... "[Country Name] is eradicating [type of people]" requires a level of state power that is globally impactful. The US, for instance, is party to some of these genocides. If you are a US citizen, you are directly affected -- your taxes, your representatives, your opportunity costs, etc. are being used to eradicate [type of people] rather than something beneficial. Same if you are basically anywhere in the world. You aren't disconnected from those things.
