      Oh you seem to have misunderstood her statement.

        I don’t think I have. I think you might have misunderstood mine.

      I mean kinda.

      The people who-care about others of the world are not the ones with power to do anything about it.

      Everyone is starting to get it bad as the world sorta shifts and mangles itself into its new form but it will definitely be an uneven and unfair split of agony.

      The best bet is to simply get moving locally and make the specific commections needed to keep going but it’s a shame cause the internet was a great forum for connecting way outside your usual limited reach it just doesn’t really help anymore, and the gates are closed.

        I know it is a shitty choice, but a lot of us are busy trying to prevent the (next) genocide in the US if trump wins. Which, yeah, means supporting the other party that supports Israel. At least they’ve ‘condemned’ them but the average person can’t do much to stop the military industrial complex from churning. Unlike the unhinged ml/hex users, many realize reality dictates supporting Democrats right now despite their lack of support for ending the mass murder of Palestinians. So yeah, I’m selfishly attempting protecting myself and the society that directly affects me.

          The delusion is breathtaking.

          You really think of yourself as some kind of pragmatic freedom-fighter eh?

          How many presidential election cycles in a row have you allowed yourself to be herded into supporting Raytheon, General Dynamics, and Lockheed Martin removed with a D next to their name? When will a genocide that they are pushing for (and the clearly false pretenses for that genocide that they continue to cling to) be too much for you?

          I’d bet on never because you have to vote blue no matter who, right?
