Is WWIII inevitable?

[uls]

mind conditioning or journalists doing their job?

mag self reflect ka

tanongin mo sarili mo bakit mas may sympathy ka sa ukrainians kesa sa syrians, afghans, iraqis, palestinians etc

dahil consumer ka ng western media

kung ano ang emotional bias ng reporting nila it influences how you feel

western media always portrays Americans, Europeans, Israelis as the good guys

Syrians, Iraqis, Afghans, Palestinians as the bad guys

and that becomes your world view

have you ever wondered why you a brown skinned man living in the philippines would have such strong western bias?

coz you've been consuming western media all your life

[uls]

why is it when palestinian boys throwing rocks at Israeli soldiers get killed parang wala lang para sayo

pero awang awa ka sa mga ukrainians

it's the way western media frames it

palestinians = bad

palestinians -- not white -- white western reporters cannot empathize with their suffering

ukrainians -- white, european -- white western reporters get extremely emotional seeing their own kind suffer

tapos nadala ka sa emotional reporting nila

By his third frantic dash down the stairs, with a wet piece of cloth over his mouth and a little girl in each arm, everything went dark for Khaled Abu Jaafar.

“I lost consciousness. I couldn’t breathe any more; it was like my lungs were shutting down,” recalled the resident of Douma, in Syria’s Eastern Ghouta.

“I woke up about 30 minutes later and they had undressed me and were washing my body with water,” Abu Jaafar told Al Jazeera on Sunday. “They were trying to make me vomit as my mouth was emitting a yellow substance.”

Abu Jaafar is one of the survivors struggling to cope with the effects of a chemical attack on Saturday in the besieged town of Douma, the last rebel stronghold near the Syrian capital, Damascus.

Rescue workers and medical staff have said at least 85 people were killed in the chlorine gas attack – an accusation dismissed by the Syrian government as “farcical”.

Among those killed, witnesses said, were many women and children who had sought refuge in the basements of buildings to escape heavy bombardment by pro-government forces.

naka-relate ka ba? o walang lang...

coz iba sila eh...

pero bakit relate na relate ka sa suffering ng mga ukrainian?

di ka naman white, european

coz being lifelong consumers of western media and pop culture, pinoys actually feel closer to white westerners than to people of other races and cultures
