I think its insane that while people are being brutally bombed, displaced from their homes, starved, killed, and kidnapped, corporations are spending billions of dollars that could easily provide humanitarian aid to build theme parks right next to an active war zone instead. I also think its insane that while war, destruction, and genocide rages we are more focused on whether or not a resort and theme park is still on track to open. I think a lot of the time we see violence, war, poverty exisiting in such close physical proximity to wealth and luxury, and we don’t realize how much wealth determines how a global conflict effects you. The thought of being a person living in an active war zone where my survival is put into question every single day, and I find out that meanwhile, a multi-national corporation is not concerned with helping me but with building a theme park right next to me, would make me insanely upset but sadly not surprise me.
