The west has been complicit in south Sudan by delivering the tools via the Arabs. The war in eastern Congo is fueled by our need for resources.
You hyper focus on one genocide as a beacon of inhumanity while ignoring the very severe suffering of other people and barely caring about them in the name of reducing the genocides. You are not achieving that.
Also the slave trade was further in the past than happing yesterday. Not even figuratively
How the fuck do you think you’re going to reduce genocides on the other side of the world when your fucking governments don’t even acknowledge the one they’re actively complicit in right now, or the ones it has committed in recent history?
Until US/Europe/the other vassals deal with their own imperialist history, nothing is going to change. It’s also ironic that you’re accusing me of ignoring severe suffering, while your first post here was actively defending Israel for invading foreign territory.
How did I or my ancestors have any part in the slave trade or benefit from them directly? Also that’s more than 3 generations in the past and the quoted resolution demands undue reparations. Africa and the South must be aided in their development and not be exploited, but that resolution seems to be made in a way where it’s goal was to be repealed. There is little merit in that.
The wealth of the West is created from centuries of colonial exploitation and imperialism. It’s the reason for unequal exchange: why you in the imperial core only have to work 1 hour to get the same pay as someone working 4 hours for the same job in the Global South (so that you can use the other 3 hours to post imperialist apologia on socials, in your case).
The wealth of the West (and capitalism) would not exist without the genocide and settlement of 3 continents, the enslavement of the 4th and the colonization of the 5th. Reparations are due, but the West has been more concerned with paying reparations to slave owners, for their loss of “property”, as in the case of the UK, until 2015, with public money out of taxes. Turns out they can really pay reparations when they want to, huh?

Ok, but the former colonies of my country have been paid reparations and there are very few and they were colonies for like 20 years.
And how am I or anyone alive responsible for the crimes of our ancestors. Generational punishment is inhumane.
You can of course critize today’s worth of labour.
