Ask HN: What can I do to fight genocide?

5•austin-cheney•15h ago
I am a bored software developer that can do more than just put text on screen. I want to do more to help fight genocide and human trafficking. How can I help?

If the ask is large enough I might be willing to quit my job for this. Compensation is not a factor.

If there were an effective answer to this question, the state of Israel would be very frustrated. They've been genociding and apartheiding for decades, and nobody has been able to stop them.

I have contacted the US news outlets that have failed to report on the daily killing of up to 100 food aid seekers, as well as failing to report on the deaths due to starvation.

I tell them that their lies of omission makes them complicit in genocide. US media will only give an obligatory window-dressing mention of what's going on.

I also tell one media business masquerading as a public service that I will not donate to them anymore, because of their silence.

Want the truth? Try aljazeera.com or haaretz.com (even the Israelis have better coverage of the genocide than almost all US media).

If more of the American people were exposed to the truth, the genocide would stop sooner. So politely pressure US media outlets to do their job!

the problem is recursion. these people are stuck in infinite loops. both, the media and the purple tractors. in order to maintain these infinite loops and escape all the breaks, they cancel just enough to never suffer a blow from overflow. if you want to stop the genocide, become a marketing monster and spread your message via all the twitchy channels. the more labels you can slap on it, the better. your message won't die just because you bought the attention by sharing others' attention. then, turn it into a multi-cultural constantly remixing franchise. Once you crack the mythical early adopter threshold, boom, one genocide down.

The EA folk have thought about this and the answer is that you make money with bitcoin and then give the proceeds to medicine sans frontier or some similar organization. I don’t know the best “anti-genocide” orgs, but if you can’t find one you could make your own. That might be the best solution given that you’re “bored.” The most optimal solution via crypto windfalls is not the least boring one.
