It happens for sure. Being seen as “fighting oppression” seems to be so trendy amongst young people. Of course they wouldn’t go to a middle eastern country and fight for women’s rights or go to Africa or Asia and fight against slavery/sex trafficking. Another good illustration of this where the people asking the “refugees welcome” people if they would sign a paper to take in refugees in their home. All this to say being seen as fighting oppression or standing up for those perceived to be oppressed is super trendy
That's actually the irony. Libs for the most part will complain about problems.abroad but not do anything about them. Then weirdly born agains from here will completely slip over domestic poverty and hunger and jump on a plane to Guatemala or something and build a field hospital for brown people. Because apparently helping disenfranchised white people in Appalachia isnt trendy enough.
They have mentioned this at my church. While it’s noble to help all people in need as Christ commands, we shouldn’t forget those down the street from us. We work a lot with the local elementary school, food kitchen, pregnancy center (helping mothers who keep their babies), etc. But yes, we can’t be going across the world while ignoring our own community. I don’t see anything wrong with helping people in other parts of the world but those in need down the street are often ignored. I know I could do more
