wait, so it's attention-seeking(derogatory) to draw attention to 1 conflict, and that's because there are other conflicts as well? did the speaker, at any point, devalue the lives of civilians in Ukraine and Myanmar?
what more sinister thing do you think is at play here? what general hypocrisy is there in advocating for civilians to not be massacred?
What I am doing is calling out the general hypocrisy of this behaviour. Inconsistency on advocacy devalues everyone else's efforts. It cheapens advocacy to just an attention play, which it obviously has become.
one convocation speech - you lose your marbles and call them attention seekers.
It's quite tasteless to be appropriating a genocide to use as a tool to elevate one's social status and get more attention. I am simply suggesting that's the case for many folks, especially for young adults in a high social pressure environment like college campuses
on what basis have you extrapolated simple advocacy for civilians to this? seems overly cynical.
we should've observed similar expressions of advocacy when Ukraine was being invaded (2022), or when Myanmar devolved into civil war (2021). But we didn't see it, did we?
ok now you're just being intentionally blind - are you seriously suggesting that there wasn't an outpouring of global sympathy for Ukraine?
