Your the poster they hang on the walls of political offices that go ——-> “its easy to trick them, just like this one!”

Man, you’re right! I got duped into caring about humans being slaughtered. …What’s wrong with me? Why does human bloodshed bother me? I need to really step up to the plate of ignorance and close my eyes to the videos of death, and cover my ears to the screaming of my fellow man- If it ain’t happenin’ in my streets, I just don’t give two shits! That’s the real white man’s way!

Well said, Jamie. This reminds me of the Civil Rights demonstrations and riot police on TV in the US in the 1960’s, although far more violent and unstable.
