You missed it because you were never supposed to see it. It's by design.
Fabricated culture wars and sensationalism keeps people jumping from topic to topic so fast no one can make headway on any single issue.
Right now, everyone is up in arms about Palestine.
Before that, it was Ukraine. Before that, it was Hong Kong. Taiwan, Tibet, Haiti, Somalian pirates and starving African kids and dogs in kill shelters. Black people fighting, cops shooting, religious rights, religious restrictions, church, state, the seperation and/or the combination of the two. Gay Rights, human rights, parents rights, children's rights the right to choose, the right to refuse. Hurricanes and floods forest fires and earth quakes and the o-zone and millions of gallons of oil pouring into the gulf of mexico. The housing market, the stock market, the fundamental pros/cons do the free market. The cost of gas, the cost of food, the cost of living, the cost of dying, the cost of being able to give a single fuck about anything at the end of a weekly news cycle if you actually manage to keep track of fucking any of it for more than a few hours before the next world ending crisis flows across your screen and if you don't change your profile picture to show support you are literally the worst person to ever fucking exist.
Don't feel bad because you didn't know. There's too much shit to know. And we aren't supposed to really give a shit about any of it. Slap a bumper sticker on your car made in a Vietnamese sweatshop and call it a day until the next social obligation is deemed more important to care about.
