I feel when Bucha happened in Ukraine still a lot of people were shocked and outraged. But somehow this extreame achievement of the human race to formulate human rights and at least try to defend them is withering away.

  • Genocide in Gaza, meh.
  • Genocide in Nagorno-Karabakh whatever.
  • Genocide in some African country again? They always have some genocide going on there
  • Genocide in Xinjang? Look they are dancing in the propaganda videos, how bad can it be?
  • UK sending refugies from all over the world to Rwanda? They categorized it as a save country so what’s the Problem?
  • Guantanamo is still open? We haven’t heard much about it for years, probably everything is ok there

I could go on and on. So is it just the times now that nobody wants WWIII so we are just looking the other way? Even worse, if you want to protest for human rights, you get into trouble, not just in dictatorship countries, but in Germany, US, etc.

    Norms are eroded when they are violated and there are no consequences.
    ‘Why should I pay attention to carpool lane signs if there is not penalty for violating them? I won’t.’ Lots of people think this way and now they are just another lane.
    Violations of norms are also contagious. If one traffic law doesn’t matter, maybe we can get away with violating it more. ‘I did it before and didn’t get caught. Maybe I can keep doing it to save time’
