These kinda comments always fuck with me. Were you not paying attention? Is this some sort of pride in not paying attention? I'm 35 and noticed it was happening while I was in high school, why did it take you until a year or two ago to notice what was happening the entire time?

Because I was paying attention to the destruction of my own country around me?

Do you think every human is scanning every country every moment for injustices to be enraged at?

You're the one who said you thought they wouldn't. Can't pull the "well I actually don't know anything and wasn't paying attention and actually you're the dumb one" card now.

I'm just gonna let you have the conversations you think you're having, you clearly don't need input.

Is you attention span limited to your immediate surroundings? Do you think your home unaffected by geopolitics? You chose to stay ignorant.
