Europe

The cognitive dissonance between what people think about the genocide and what politicians and mass media say about it is hard to process and very concerning on top of that.

Today they’re supporting a genocide in Palestine because of geopolitics, and they’re silencing whoever criticizes them. What will it be next time? Possibly abortion or trans/LBTQ rights.

And if genocide against Palestinians is okay, that means the EU doesn’t support universal human rights. So what if next time the enemy is within EU borders, let’s say the enemy is ”migrants“. What stops politicians from genociding them under the pretense of fighting crime / terror / extremism?

The typical kneejerk reaction is that what I’m saying is overly pessimistic or even delusional because such a thing couldn’t be possible. But the precedence has already been set. We’re going down a very dark path very quickly.
