Myanmar's treatment of the Rohingya

[LittleFuzzy]

I'm sorry but I don't understand how it can be so difficult for you to accept that there are real people like that.

There absolutely are. But more and more on social media, you're not dealing with real people, you're dealing with organized/planned PR and presence. You already know this and ignore commercial material but you think it doesn't apply to subjects like news, politics, and racism?

I don't go dredging through any special websites. I'm talking about comments under articles by Economist, WSJ, BBC, The Guardian, FT, NY Times etc.

Online comments, not real interaction, and frequently at least pseudo-anonymous.

Unlike you, I use social media and can recognize an ordinary person behaving in an ordinary manner on Facebook.

If you click on the profiles of most people commenting on Facebook news stories, you'll see that they're not particularly anonymous. At the very least, their comments are visible to everyone on their friend list.

Doesn't make them normal people you've personally interacted with either.

There's nothing about the concept of personal interaction that requires physical interaction. Your position is, tbh, a little bizarre.
