So there's been a fire at Notre Dame in France,
and apparently the damage is extensive.
Now usually I despair at things like this,
where priceless historical documents and buildings are damaged beyond repair.
Apparently it's a tragedy worthy of being plastered
across the front pages or newspapers or front and centre
on most major news sites like The Guardian (https://www.theguardian.com/world/live/2019/apr/15/notre-dame-cathedral-fire-paris-france-landmark-live-news).
The more I read about it,
the less I cared about the building and the more angry I got.
In fact, I'm downright furious.
Refugees are being tortured and abused
around the world,
including France...
and this is what's most important to them?
THIS takes precedence?
Hell, I could understand it being a major news story,
which it most definitely is.
But when I read about how the French PM asked the country
to rebuilt it together,
and account a motherfucking international fundraising campaign
for repairs...
And not to mention a cocksucking billionaire who has
pledged 100 million euros towards rebuilding it...
Words can't describe how pissed off I am.
It's hard for me to view them as people.
These goddamn fucking animals.
Refugees are treated like dirt
(as a direct result of French interference in their countries, by the way),
and suffering...
not to mention other marginalized groups like
the Roma especially.
And this?
This is what they're raising funds for?
And I can just imagine the
response from racists (the ones with balls will at least admit it)
who will use all manner of deflective arguments to
justify by a goddamn building matters more than
(non-white) human lives.
Fuck every single one of them.
Well enough of that.
