We all know the hypocrisies of the pro- Israel stances, I’m not going into specific arguments but it’s just everywhere. Normal people seem to have bought in even quicker than they did with supporting Ukraine. it’s awful. Free Palestine.

    This is exactly how I’ve been describing this moment. I haven’t been so lost in the world since that time. It feels like you can’t even begin to dig through the hate and propaganda. Everyone around you is acting morally superior for wanting blood. People you thought were a little more level headed are just consumed.

    It’s deeply upsetting to be watching this play out again. It feels like living inside a trainwreck and you don’t know how to help anything because it’s already happening with so much momentum.

    It also leaves you feeling deeply vulnerable. Like any day the world could pick you as a target, and everyone around you would cheer on as the world devoured you.

    I’ve thought so much on post 9/11, especially the run up to the Iraq War. I hoped I’d never feel this way again, but here we are.

    Take care of yourselves. Dunno what else to say.

      History never ends, eventually I believe and hope that people will look back at us in wonder of our stupidity, and the few of the few of us that get to be remembered in history will be finally recognised as beyond their time, just like we think of the Greek philosophers today.

      Take care and keep a glimpse of hope, it’s all we’ve got
