Remember when we felt 50,000 American lives was too much to pay for an idea in the early 70's?

[OAITW r.2.0]

Back when we stopped the War in Vietnam?


What the fuck happened to us when 1,000,000 Americans die and we don't give a shit?

[Meowmee]

1. Yes

It is hard to believe how much people do not give shit. It is way over 1 mil I am sure.

[RockRaven]

2. Ronnie Raygun's greed-is-good, Newt Grinch's hypocrisy, the Shrub's epistemological nihilism,

and Rupert Murdoch propaganda's unfettered reach add up to give us this.

3. Who died?

And why do you claim nobody cares?

This is shocking news.

4. We lost our souls when 6 yrs in a classroom get shot to ribbons by assault weapons.

And we did nothing.

It's the same mindset that is the reason why healthcare is a luxury item in this country instead of a basic right; deaths are acceptible to the powers that be, unless it's theirs, of course.

6. Remember when we started wars with Muslim countries when

3,000 Americans died on 9/11? But a million lost to Covid, not worth getting a shot.

7. America in general has always had a bit of a social eugenics streak.

Too many "hearty, hard working, real 'Murikkans" are perfectly fine with weak people dying off. Even during the 60's and 70's, most of the protests were about healthy young sons or peers with their future in front of them being killed off, not because innocent people were being killed


There have always been too many sociopaths and cult/clannish thinkers in this country.

8. This country has always been willing to sacrifice "the other" to protect the status quo, and a lot

of us have found different ways to convince ourselves that many of the dead are "the other" and have little to do with us.

[Emile]

9. 40,000 died in the Korean war

and it's still a divided country!
