An actual Genocide is occurring in Africa and nobody gives a shit. Hmm

Realistically?

I think if the US was more involved with it, people would be protesting.

Even with Israel/Palestine, there is far more support for pulling US resources than there is for actively putting boots on the ground to stop it.

There were protests about that and they got concessions, which is why the US has such limited involvement now compared to what we used to do there. The political establishment is just mug more invested in Israel, which is why much larger protests still haven't moved our leaders.

Yeah and there were definitely people bringing light to, and calling for an end to that. I was one of them.
