    I don’t know if you actually read his letter giving notice, but Gaza has functionally been his life’s work. He’s lived there for many years and fought for human rights and equality.

    Whether or not he’s at retirement age, this is a dark culmination to his life’s work.

      Indeed. The idea that he was going to find a way around two incompatible cultures existing in the same space was too idealistic. The trick is to hate humanity and to expect nothing but terrible behavior from them and then you won’t be disappointed.

          Exhausted.

          I’m exhaust-ed. I have absolutely no expectation that religion will go away, which means I have no expectation that religious warfare is going to go away. Humans are tribal, tribes commit warfare, tribalism has only increased in my lifetime. You’re all doomed.

            Lmao, if you think its religion why we’re tribal. Even without religion we’d be finding stupid ways and reasons to kill each other. I want to empathize with your emotional exhaustion with the state of humanity, but blindly throwing shade towards religion makes it hard. Yes there are a lot of people that use it as an excuse to be hateful and shitty, but those people where always going to find reasons for that. Religion ALSO gets used by many for a sense of peace/hope in a complex world, and as a reason to be good to others/love one another. And before you call me brainwashed, I’m ALSO athiest, but I get sick of other arhiests making us look like holier (ironic) than thou jackasses

              did I say anywhere that I think religion is why we’re tribal?

              did I? or are you fighting a straw man right now?
