I have a deep fear that this current surge in righteous outrage will go the way of the surge in the Black Lives Matter movement after the murder of George Floyd. It makes me deeply fearful for the future of humanity that so many are able to wake up to the horrors experienced by millions of people for a moment and then turn away from it again, as suddenly. Thank you for using this platform to share your thoughts.
You've said almost exactly what I was thinking and thinking about writing, thank you. The outrage and horror comes in waves, and like waves recedes at times - it has to, otherwise we would all go mad. But keep the flag flying, literally or metaphorically with food writing, marches or wearing the keffiyeh scarf.
