ok, to be fair. There have been recent investments into people generally in poverty, in regards to improving their financial situation, as a means to improve their overall health, it's still in trial stages, and very new, but it IS happening, and it IS positively affecting people.

Also, "we" aren't really witnessing a genocide, i'm assuming to this is referring to war, if not, I'll take my leave.

Should have said while approving/enabling of a genocide.

The current administration has vetoed multiple UN drafts for a conflict resolution over Gaza as well as other UN resolutions proposed. We're still sending the Israelis weapons. Neither congress nor the current administration care.

i suppose complacency is fair. Wouldn't be america if we didn't pretend shit wasn't a problem half the time.

There's like 8 recent 'genocide emergencies' declared by Genocide Watch not including Palestine and Ukraine

While interesting most are far smaller. The Manipur one has 200 deaths. Which is bad but more of a war crime than full blown Genocide.

last i checked, there is a wiki page with a list of "serial killers" and if you sort by death count, you get like 180? Last i checked, similar situation there i imagine. Some dude apparently just woke up and decided that he needed to violence. Gotta love humanity.
