“As a mother, I cannot bear to watch their suffering. The children of the world belong to everyone. You are the only one of us who cannot be denied entry,” Madonna wrote in an Instagram post on Monday.
“Politics Cannot affect Change. Only consciousness Can. Therefore I am Reaching out to a Man of God,” Madonna wrote in the caption of her post.
Jokes about genocide are my favorite. It’s this sort of internet attitude of who can find the best one liner that makes people so goddamn complacent. We read news about people literally being slaughtered and starved and people are still trying to make fuckin jokes.
I’m fully convinced this framing and attitude is why we aren’t doing a goddamn thing about our generation’s fucking holocaust.

And what exactly have you done to stop it?
You act like we all have this power to stop it but just choose not to use it but the reality is there isn’t much a normal person can do on their own.
The best we could have done was to vote for someone who didn’t support what’s going on and I think the majority of us here probably did and it still failed.
We could all have a revaluation but we aren’t even doing that for our own domestic issues so why would we do it for something happening on the other side of the world? That kind of thing needs a leader or a catalyst that just hasn’t stepped forward yet.
Gallows humour has been used as a coping mechanism for a long time before the internet.
By all means board the next flotilla, i’ll cheer you on.
