NPC Outrage Machine

 A whole bunch of people put yellow and blue colors on their social media profiles and have an opinion about the war in Ukraine.

Virtually nobody has an opinion about the war in Yemen.

The scenario is virtually identical. The Saudis are waging war against a small neighbor to prevent a hostile force (Iran) from having a base of operations. The USA is backing the Saudis with material and advisors.

Civilians are suffering from the conflict.

The war has gone on for years. A poor country has held the "western powers" and Saudi arabia at bay for a long time.

It is really interesting to compare the outrage in the two cases among western NPCs. How does it really work? There is regular reporting on the Yemen war in the media. So what actually turns on the outrage in the vast NPC population?

I think it's probably Hollywood and popular entertainment like the late night talk shows. Those products tell the really dumb people how to think. They model the behavior.
