Rohingya UN report published

I doubt the world will get it's head out of it's ass and attempt something sadly.
What a disgusting situation.
What a disgusting situation.
For the Western world, "never again" only applies to white people. And they couldn't even get that right.

As if the difference actually matters from the fact that this stuff is beyond horrific.
Why the fuck is no one doing anything about this?
Yeah, seriously. What a piece of shit she is.
Something has to be done about this. Something should have been done a long time ago, but nevertheless.
Aung San Suu Kyi is 100% complicit and should be tried for crimes against humanity. She was in full knowledge of what was ongoing and not even once, in the slightest, tried to condemn/protest the army given her position, there was no effort of prevention, and the fact of how she saw the press as an enemy regarding reporting of this. She like many in her country is racist and hates the Rohingya people.
What's the practical difference? And aren't both terms considered horrific?
The conservative Australian government paid fleeing refugees to go back to the slaughter. They paid tax payer dollars to people to go back and die rather than help them. Let that sink in.
You should care.
If the UN classes something as genocide then the member Nations are legally bound to intervene and stop it, using force if required. That's why the US State Department had lawyers telling them to call it anything other than genocide when talking about Rwanda 25-30 years ago and it's why they won't say the G-word to save the Rohingya now.
This way they can pretend nothing is happening while the more liberal and empathetic politicians can tut tut and maybe in rare cases condemn what is happening but they will always stop *just* short of the G-word so nobody actually has to do a fucking thing.
Don't worry though, in 20 years time we can watch a Hollywood movie about the whole thing and pat ourselves on the back about how we are so much more enlightened nowadays and this will happen #NeverAgain.
Thanks for the insight. I wasn't aware there really was a difference between the two. The fact that we use legalese to avoid doing anything pisses me off so much.

Fuck Aung San Suu Kyi. Rescind her Nobel Prize and try this fucking monster for crimes against humanity. Despicable government.
Basically.

No worries, I didn't know myself until maybe a yesr or two ago.

This...wow...this is something. To knowingly send people back to a straight up genocide, is...wow.
It's pretty horrifying, and worse, seems to have broad support in Myanmar. It's not a Nazi-like minority that's determining policy.

Most multicultural nation in the world they call themselves
This is what's going to happen. (I'm referring to your post btw.)
The indifference many in the west have for the Rohyngian GENOCIDE (because that's exactly what it fucking is) has always astounded me.
I hold very little hope things will get better.
Thanks! I always used these as synonyms, and didn't realize that there was such an important distinction.
Unfortunate that the reason for the distinction is so reprehensible.
I wonder if something will happen when the burmese military moves on from the Rohingya to the other minorities that are fighting the goverment

Brown and Muslim. Why care about those.
Not forgetting the other Muslim countries lack of action is also pathetic. Again why help poor stateless people Muslim or not.
The world is fucked when things like this can happen again and again
I was watching a conference for Southeast Asian countries a while back and the Burmese delegate was swearing up and down that the genocide and forced migration was just a hoax. Of course, nobody bought it.
Yep.
Not white.
Not christian.
They have no resources that the western world wants.
Since none of those are checked likely no actions will be taken.
Why do that when you can just ignore it without any consequence? The world's inaction here has been one of the great failures of our time.
As a Norwegian I am ashamed that the Nobel committee will not revoke Aung San Suu Kyi Nobel Peace Prize after these revelations she is overseeing a genocide and has even tried to justify it.
There is always considerable foot dragging. Unlike a civil war, it's not necessarily immediately obvious what is going on, particularly the scale, so people want to send fact finding missions, which take time. Unless there is an immediate strategic interest involved, average countries don't want to get involved in drastic action like an invasion or mass deployment of UN troops. A lot of people hoping that problems will just go away so they don't have to deal with it. Probably a lot of behind the scenes phone calls with diplomats in Myanmar telling them to rein their shit in.
Jesus fucking christ. This is fucking genocide and yet I have barely heard a peep about this whole ongoing humanitarian disaster in the western mainstream media (or even YT for that matter).
As a species, we truly are irredeemable filth.
