There's a genocide going on, we have thousands upon thousands of homeless people, the world is heading to a climate catastrophy, but let's be outraged by someone lightning a cigarette with the flame of a war memorial.

People dying of hunger because of politics, capitalism and violence, it's none of our business. But that man lighting his cigarette, what a fucking outrage!
