Each is concerned with their immediate need

April 15 is now important because of bombings. This will reflect in various policies of US and allies. Almost 200 injured, three confirmed dead (current data).

I crie evry time.

The same day 55 are killed in bombings throughout Iraq. And, I'm not blaming anyone in particular, but, according to every fucking news company that I check, Boston bombing is more important. Every murder is equally bad, assholes. "But America is a civilized western country and should be safe hurr durr" US has started questionable wars, resulting in deaths of thousands of civilians. It has raised generations of self-obsessed assholes, and the capitalism, as much as it works economically, creates a tense and over-competitive environment*. It is bound to have enemies, it is bound to have crazy people.

I can't wait for the announcement of the suspects to induce a new waves of racism, revenge, labeling and madness.

Meanwhile, after countless documentaries, books, escaped citizens as guest speakers and nuclear warfare threats, internet still produces memes and recycled jokes about North Korea, while millions suffer, eat rats and are sent to concentration camps (along with all relatives and unborn children and grandchildren) for folding a newspaper wrong.**

But, yeah, Boston bombing is totally the most significant thing going on.

*Exaggerated capitalism in South Korea has lead to incredibly high suicide rates, according to Blaine Harden. The only country to exceed their rates is Greenland, where 20% of population have tried to kill themselves at some point of their lives.
**This rant is inspired by this book and documentaries including Land of Whispers and Inside North Korea, to name a few.
