I remember someone commenting recently in the context of US politics that conservatives think it's fair to judge progressives as a whole by their most fringe member yet think it fair to excuse elected conservative nutjobs (like Trump) as too fringe to represent the conservative tent.

The double standard is shocking, as this humanitarian crisis has very powerfully revealed. Some memes would fit the 'Western' response well, like the Drake one or the Gordon Ramsay one. But no matter how much politicians want to treat this as a PR opportunity, I haven't lost sight of the genocide and immensity of human suffering that is really going on
