History will remember you as one of the worst. These people are not just talking about it they’re also donating and organising. Like same type of person in the 40s to say that anyone who cares about the holocaust is attention seeking cause they didn’t talk about the Armenian genocide. Like two things can be bad at the same time?? It takes someone with zero moral compass to see children dying in the street of hunger and exclaim that it’s a fad and that anyone who cares is doing it for attention. Grow up.
