westerners will guilt trip you to stay up to date on what happens in their first world countries but when it comes to palestine, colombia, india, uyghurs in china, etc. they’ll be silent. performative activism and a love only for themselves goes hand in hand.

“westerners” takes less letters than white people from first-world countries. this is NOT about BIPOC in those countries. their struggle against white oppressors is important and must be heard. this is specifically about white ppl who weaponise their activism.
