The political opinions of the average poalr are fringe opinions, they certainly don't reflect the political opinions of the vast majority, very few centrists here in case you didn't notice. And there isn't much we can do about what the majority believes
Besides, people have zero empathy for muslims, let's get shit straight here. It's only when the tv starts a trend around it that they eventually start to suddenly follow the sympathy cause du jour, while they didn't give a shit about it 24h before... And the only people on which it has no effect, are people who categorically don't like browns or muslims in the first place, and there aren't that much people like that
We're really dealing with NPCs
So only leverage we can reasonably expect, can only happen within their own set of ideas/ideology, they aren't going to turn full 1488 fugget' bout it
In my worldview NPCs caring more about Ukraine than Islamic countries being bombed is a healthy response.
Ukrainians are Christians and they look white. I DO want them to care more about that, and not friggin shame them for it.
I don't care if the US bombs islamic countries. We're an Empire. Empires fighting savages, in particular those that commited acts of terrorism within our borders, is in my worldview normal and nothing to be ashamed of. But it's stupid to take the people you just bombed and make them citizens.
The issue is, that we've been shamed for being an empire and shamed for looking out for our own. If anything people have to be talked out of their shame. It's possible to do that without going full 14/88.
