Show us something that hurts.
Look, police in Tibet "pursuing" nuns. To hit them with batons.
That's what hurts--not a single death or injury, but an ongoing system of injuries and deaths. Whole cultures engaged in constructs of cruelty and violence. It only hurts when we look, though, and in America we live a life protected from ugly sights. If we don't want to look, we don't have to. Plenty of news outlets are happy to let us turn our gaze away. It's like the tree falling the forest. Do we imagine if we aren't there to see it, the violence isn't happening?
