    If someone gets bullied at school would you want everyone to look the other way because it’s not their responsibility? Or do you want people to stand up against oppression? It is our responsibility as people in a position of privilege to use our power to help oppressed people.

    The people being oppressed by our governments being physically far removed from us is little relevant. Speaking out against Genocide is our responsibility the moment we observe it happening.

      Yeah, that’s fine, do that, just don’t internalize yourself as the bully just because someone with actual power makes all of your country’s decisions for you.
