I believe but don’t care. <— The US is around here

That's only the democrats

The republicans don't even believe it

Yes

About that.... The dark history of "gasoline baths" at the border

Why are you saying that is if it's contradictory? I know that Russia invaded Ukraine. I can see the horrifying details by watching drone videos. I can know something generally without knowing the details

It's important to remember that the pictures shouldn't matter, and that everyone, everywhere, was responsible for letting the Holocaust happen. Those that didn't fight tooth and nail, of course.

The world knew it was bad. They didn't need pictures. They didn't need Auschwitz. The information they had was bad enough. They had the proof in front of their eyes. They knew the fear. The St. Louis sailed in 1939 to the US coast with almost a thousand refugees with stories to tell. They were terrified, abused, and oppressed in Europe. But they were refused, and forced to sail home. 250 of them would die in the Holocaust.

Jewish properties had been confiscated, synagogues and businesses burned down. After Feldman's Polish father was arrested and deported to Poland her mother decided it was time to leave.

Feldman remembers her father pleading with her mother to wait for him to return but her mother was adamant and always replied: "I have to take the girls away to safety."

[...] Tearful relatives waved them off at the station in Berlin. "They knew we would never see each other again," she says softly. "We were the lucky ones - we managed to get out." She would never see her father or more than 30 other close family members again.

By early 1939, the Nazis had closed most of Germany's borders and many countries had imposed quotas limiting the number of Jewish refugees they would allow in.

By early June, Captain Schroder had no option but to turn the giant liner back towards Europe. "The joy had gone out of everything," Feldman recalls. "No-one was talking about what would happen now."

As the ship headed back across the Atlantic, six-year-old Granston kept asking his father whether they were going back to see their grandparents. His father just shook his head in silent despair.

By then, people were openly crying as they wandered the ship - one passenger even slit his wrists and threw himself overboard out of sheer desperation. "If I close my eyes, I can still hear his shrieks and see the blood," Granston says quietly.

They shouldn't have needed pictures. They shouldn't have needed the horrible little details. They knew that people were suffering and dying. Earlier that same year - February, 1939 - the Nazis sold out Madison Square Garden. Over 20,000 people rallied in support.

The world watched, as evil openly celebrated. The world watched, as hatred and fear were used as weapons against the innocent, and entire peoples were rounded up, forced from their homes, starved, and slowly but surely killed. Just because the information stopped at the gates of Auschwitz doesn't mean they were blind to the horrors outside the camps.

All that matters is that good men did nothing.

I disagree that "we are all complicit", as it's the ruling bourgeois class that makes all of the decisions for funding/meetups and that's who should be blamed, while the working class is largely powerless with the only 'realistic' resistance towards this geopoliticing being protests, which essentially is nothing more than begging.

That's the main point of my comment, and if there's anything we as workers are truly guilty of, it's failing to achieve workers liberation that would remove the need for a bourgeois government that helps maintain and strengthen a zionist state completely. Granted, it's not for the lack of trying - liberals have been really good at violently suppressing and exhausting class conscious thought.

Yeah, only the workers can bring about change, hopefully by liberating themselves. However, this only stands in theory.

In reality, Capitalism is a system actively maintained and defended by the bourgeoisie (the ruling/owning class) with their own geopolitical and business interests. This maintenance also entails legitimization of itself (through electorialism), instilling its own values through education and the media which encourages passivity, and it's also crafted in such a way where regular people have very little power to influence things (limits to whom get to be our representatives in democracy by barriers of entry, who gets to actually make decisions), with the best that can be reasonably done without proper revolutionary organization being protests (in other words, begging). This powerlessness was the point of my comment.

It also doesn't help that Capitalism/bourgeoisie benefits from armed conflicts like these, given how it propagates military industrial complex (profitable businesses), allows capitalists to get their grubby hands on war-torn regions when it comes to reconstruction/minerals post-war and allows to get rid of overproduction which Capitalism tends to produce over time. So, your remark that "Capitalism doesn't care if there's genocide or not" is kinda wrong, it actually thrives off of it which I'd assume makes it happy.

yes it is
