    Meanwhile all those dead Yemenis don’t even warrant a mention, especially since it might have poeple asking why we were over there helping kill them in the first place

      See, Yemen is a bad place where bad things are allowed to happen. By Western logic stuff only becomes real if it enters our imaginary bubble of perpetual safety. That’s also why 9/11 and the Ukraine invasion got such a big reaction.

      To be clear, the bubble is not real, it can all happen here.
