What's funny is I bet you wouldn't apply this outlook to most of the things that were basically protests and awareness campaigns this year. But this one? The actual attempt to eliminate a people? SLACKTIVISM!

Yeah, you’re right. Thousands of people engaging in active protest, their only means of affecting change for things outside their control, is the same as a single country not going to the Olympics in protest... instead of any number of the actual meaningful things they could do that are actually in their control.
Same thing dude, same thing. Talk about a dumb take.
Forgive me if I don’t fall over myself praising the idea of a country not attending the Olympic Games in protest when the same country’s governing party won’t even recognise what’s happening as genocide. But hey, if it makes you feel good right?
