What do you do when people don't care?

[jmj88@lemm.ee]

They’ve been doing this shit for decades. Why all the sudden are you in such a frenzy?

[index@sh.itjust.works]

Now it's even worst ok but we are discussing why people don't care and my suggestion to find an answer is to think about why you didn't care in the past when it was bad already.

No. This is pointing out that there have been concentration camps and extermination for a year and a half and people have not cared for a year and a half.

Weird point to start noticing that people do not care.

less stupid than the one you just made

My (great)-grandparents were part of the Dutch resistance during WW2. Along with a full 1.5% of the population.

Most people will not do anything, even if they are literally rounding up people for a genocide.

On the more positive side, a lot of people will support the resistance in small ways.

The number of people who actually, whole heartedly collaborated with the Nazi's was quite small.

Even some of the German soldiers stationed in their village would turn a blind eye. Some of them realized they were on the wrong side and they just did the bare minimum of what they needed to do to not get in trouble and not get killed.

You don't.

A large swath of Americans have made it clear they don't care to pay attention and won't care until it personally affects them.

So we're simply going to have to watch our nation decline until the majority of Americans have personally been affected. Then we'll begin a long, difficult path to gaining back what we lost, just to get back to where we were before the decline happened. Then we'll be happy to be back in the same shitty situation we were before and probably let things slide back into a decline again.

Americans are stupid. And there's nothing you can do to change that.

Trump won and the amount of people here throwing the Nazi word around still don’t realise how self defeating they are.

Sometimes you have to call Nazis Nazis. And people who support Nazis are Nazis. And sometimes you can't deprogram a Nazi.

These aren't victims. They're intentionally malicious people.

I have the urge to help victims. I have another urge entirely in regards to Nazis.

[tanisnikana@lemmy.world]

Look for the helpers.

You do understand that it's possible to oppose genocide on principle wherever it happens and to still be able think it's alarming when it escalates further, right?
