The clear and painful truth indeed.

So true and shameful

@royaards sadly so true, but I am most worried about is the environment. Oil spills, fires and who knows what chemicals they use.

@royaards Sadly people always worry about things only if it affects them in some way.

Maybe why the #TrumpEpsteinFiles event was not news back before 2019 or 2008 or last few months

@royaards that's because people are detached from those being murdered but directly hit in the pocket by fuel prices. The media also masks the horrors and pain of human loss.

Sickeningly, a very apt reflection of the majority of people, in no way limited to NL, Europe, or "the West".

@royaards People only tend to care about things that directly affect them - which is kinda sad.

@royaards - And all caused by the Orange Man.

@royaards Agreed. My reason for posting about gas prices is simple -- people dying 7,000 miles away is abstract. But you see the price at the pump roughly every week.

Yes that's fscking horrible but it is true.

@royaards

Not to worry! Someday soon we'll be able to kill all the people we want in developing countries and the cost of transpo won't budge.

And! We'll be able to do it with minimal "friendly" casualties but...yes, there is always a "but"...the robot losses may be severe.

We'll learn to usefully lament *their* grisly deaths too tho! Just to keep the righteous anger levels up to a properly useful patriotic level.

Cry, cry for the bots.

Came here to say that. If this were serious, it would be chartcrime.

I know, right?!

Of course people would be blasΓ© about only 7.5 victims across 2750 Middle East wars. There are intersections in every town with higher death rates.
