    That misses the fact that as genocide is normalized overseas abuse of the corresponding minority at home is also normalized; historical examples include the treatment of Japanese Americans, the explosion of Islamophobia as a result of the war on terror and recently the murders of Arab Americans and that assault on camera of a student activist by a tenured professor

    No, there is absolutely a hierarchy in these people’s minds and it shifts depending on which minority group and their corresponding international counterparts are in disfavor by will of the ruling class

    These people also reveal their cynical intentions thru their omissions of Biden’s horrific and disastrous polices that target the minorities they pretend to care about; record deportations, record police funding, prosecution of activist groups, and the refusal to even acknowledge let alone act against the unprecedented conservative anti-LGBTQ+ hate campaign of the last three years

      Yeah, I think I definitely agree with what you’ve said.

      I still assert that people seem to care more about the risk of LGBTQ+ people being killed “close to home” versus them actually being killed in foreign conflicts; however I suspect the reason is probably because the ones “close to home” are white.
