Ya know that time you were too exhausted to argue, care, or even get mildly annoyed with anything and everything going on?

Yeah I need to know what we're calling that now 'cause it ain't just #apathy anymore.

One day we'll talk about the Stoic → Nihilist → Buddhist pipeline. But today is not that day.

#Kurds are once again being brutally targeted.

Where are the #Western #nations?

Where's the #UN?

Where's the " #human #rights" crowd?

Where are the street #protests?

Where are #college "activists"?

Where's the #media?

Why the #silence?

Why the #apathy?

Why the #indifference?

#WHY???

Check this out. This is my level of #commitment. The #homeless are more important than the entire #Democratic party. I'm done with #systemic #murder and excusing it as anything other than that. Murder by #apathy is murder nonetheless. The Gates of Hell will not stand against the kitty!
