    I’m starting to feel like the most documented genocide is only going to continue and expand into the west bank, and the world will do nothing. Palestine has made me realise I no longer care for society.

      One group does something about it but the mods are angry at that group because lesser evil principles do not apply to brown people.

      The world? Or just many world governments that have the power to do so? There are many people out there doing what they can to dissuade governments from supporting the genocide, and they make up a fair size of “society”. Do you no longer care about them then?

      You care. You’re just tired of seeing that nothing’s changed despite people’s efforts. But that’s totally okay. Great powers don’t and won’t immediately change to what we desire it to be, and there is a vested interest for some to keep the status quo, so it’s hard. We get it, and so do you.

      Go take a rest.

        You’re speaking absolute facts my friend. We can never give up. It just sucks, I need to get off the internet sometimes and do more, whether today or 50 years from now I want to always stand on the right side, right now while I’m still younger and broke, I feel so damn powerless.

        But you’re right, can’t give up on society when there’s many great people and great nations doing what they can

          Most of us can’t help but feel powerless while trying to change the world. That’s normal, because the reality is, no one can change the world as quickly as we can make a turn at the next junction. Not Donald Trump, not Elon Musk, not Vladimir Putin, not Xi JinPing. They’ve spent decades getting to where they are today, but the best they can do is do big strokes to sway the world to some extent. And these people just look so lonely; nobody seems to really understand them, neither do they seem to truly understand people, aside from knowing enough to take advantage of them, and they put up some sort of distance between themselves and others, distance in various ways you can measure. Meanwhile, most of us spend our times to be close to those we love and care, trying to be a part of a larger society in a healthy and responsible way.

          If the alternative is to give up and watch this beautiful world burn and die, watch wonderful people suffer and I turn a blind eye to their pain, I would rather continue trying, and one day die knowing that I tried, instead of regretting alone.

    I heard an far right israelian guy asking why they wanted to free criminals and Hamas soldiers and not students ?

    My thought was why should they need to free innocent students ?

    Surprise surprise. Good thing Trump dragged out those poor poor families of the Israeli’s whose familiy members were kidnapped on stage to then monologue for 20 minutes about other shit…
