Liberation isn’t just an event, it’s a story we tell each other to remember it’s possible. A war might topple a regime, a law might grant rights, but if no one sees it, if it doesn’t ripple through the collective imagination, it’s just a tree falling in the forest of history. The real work isn’t the act itself; it’s the echo. Without witnesses, even victory is just a footnote. And in the age of algorithms, if the echo doesn’t go viral, did the tree ever make a sound?

How do we even know what liberation is if not for the drumbeat that announces it through the ages.

Obviously not. We all know history started in 1997 with the launch of SixDegrees. Nothing happened before that.

In the same logic, if i killed you and no one knows it, then your murder didn't happen.

Yes...

This is an incredibly low empathy question.

Things that you're not aware of still matter.

And this should be obvious, but a woman is a human, if she was really liberated from something, she would be aware of it. There is literally always an observer unless you're so far gone you really don't think a woman counts...

If your mom dropped you as a baby and never told anyone about it, do you still have brain damage?

Born in 1973. Can confirm nothing happened prior to 1997.

Yes, woman is a human. Humans are human. But we tend to only care about those we hear of. A woman in a dire circumstance without someone putting her on insta is still suffering just as much.

also, low empathy is a cognitive issue one cannot help. Refrain from ableism if you care for neurodivergent people. I do not need empathy to care for people.

Yes, and that's questionable.

Nope, even without ASPD empathy is a learned skill that has to be developed. And someone with a totally broken oxytocin system can still conciously be empathetic with effort. I literally do it every day.

I do not need empathy to care for people.

Literally what empathy means...

What if you can't learn?

Also by whose dictionary are you defining empathy? I wish people well, would seek to alleviate their suffering, I practice compassion. I do not need empathy for any of it.

I dont understand the downvotes. If something doesnt get enough coverage/attention it tends to be forgotten.

People crave spectacle.

One person decided that I lack empathy (he doesn't know what the word means) based on this. He said as much. Possibly others read it and decided it must be true, and thus I am worthy of burial.

I guess if the woman somehow doesn't know. Feel like it'd be a pretty big deal to her, though.

I'm sure, but do others understand the liberation?

Yes.

Would you judge this person then for acting like they have brain damage? Do you go around making fun of disabled people?

If a war liberates kills a woman in a country you’ve never heard of, and no one posts about it on social media, did the liberation killing even happen?

fixed it
