Perhaps the cameraman that Joaquin Phoenix portrays in Hotel Rwanda is correct; when the Western Media brings us these images,
the collective response is to pause, and say, “How horrible,” but then
we go on with our mundane day-to-day tasks. What is the point of
building Holocaust museums, if we just let this stuff happen? Do
they exist primarily as a space to bus schoolkids to for field trips?
Now back to my regularly scheduled apathy.
sorta like the Biblical quote
“The Spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak”
merely applied to mankind
we know these things are evil and suck from a macro view
but when we have the opportunity to genocidally eliminate half of our country so that we can have more stuff, then it gets complicated.
