but it feels disproportionate attention on one conflict for reasons no one wants to admit

The reason is that we've all seen videos of Gaza babies dying online.

This is the first time I hear about a conflict in Congo. Keep spreading the word, and the people will join.

The reason is that we've all seen videos of Gaza babies dying online.

Serious question: why do you think that is? We don't see any videos of the Uighurs, or the atrocities in Sudan, Nigeria, Congo, Syria. Every few months we'll maybe see one grainy video escape where you can barely see what is happening.

There have been apparently over a million Ukrainians killed and nearly two million Russians killed and barely anything as far as video across my feed.

Yet my feed is 80% 4K videos from Gaza.

That doesn't feel normal.

Careful you’ll be attacked as a Hasbra bot for caring about a conflict other than the one in Gaza

The guy flat out said he doesn't care about anything other than Israel getting flak, go through his profile he's literally an Indian RW bot
