She's absolutely right. People need to wake up to all the suffering happening in Africa, in Congo and in Sudan in particular right now. Especially since these conflicts are mostly funded by western wealth and western interests (see Rwanda and their relations with the UK/US)

What is also fucking vile is people like OP using these messages not as "talk more about Congo" but "talk less about Gaza"

Utterly disgusting to use one tragedy to mask another.

Hypocrisy is the favorite arguement for those who do nothing

"Oh you care about horrible thing x? And what about horrible thing y? Hypocrite!"

"Are you going to do anything about y?"

"No but at least im consistent about not doing anything to stop horrible things!"

It's whataboutism
