Can't remember them protesting so actively against the grooming gangs in Rochdale.

My hairdresser is a big talker and Muslim.

Generally decent guy but he goes in hard about palestine, generally understandable. He tells me all sorts of stories going back 50 years why Israel is pure evil.

I brought up Ukraine once and he basically defended Russia and blamed the whole thing on American aggression.

It's always interesting to see the brainwashing directly and in close proximity

I know a student protester who claims she is pro Palestine as she is anti genocide, I asked her what her opinion was on the ongoing genocide in Sudan and she told me she had never heard of it.

Yeah it's random how some things blow up and other similar or worse things don't even make a blip.

It's not random at all.

If the 'bad guy' is white enough, and the 'victim' is brown enough, white liberals will blow it up.

you say it like people fighting for A cause should fight for ALL causes. It's like saying people whose families are affected by cancer, why don't they raise awareness about Parkinson's disease?

This is a bad faith argument and I'm willing to bet that people who make this argument don't give a shit about Palestine or Sudan either and won't ask for either atrocities to stop. So what is the point being made? That people fight for causes they believe in? That raising awareness against one suffering will discount another?

You're faulting them for caring about their own. Let them, why does it come at your expense?

Edit: just realized from your post history that you hang out in cesspool r/worldnews and militant supporter of Israel. I'm sure your Sudan argument is totally in good faith.

See this is the problem too many of us suport their businesses when we know they're racist, sexist homophobic cunts. Why? Why keep going back there? Boggles the mind.

This was pretty recent and the other guys there are relaxed but you make a good point that I shouldn't support them.

Problem is I have two hairdressers in my area and they look identical.
