Coming from someone who has been on several weeks of mandatory leave from work because I started self harming in public after listening to yet another fucking horror show coming out of Gaza. I had to be sent home because I was crying and hitting myself.
How do you live with yourself? I’m genuinely curious, because I can barely do it. I’ve had to stop listening to news in the car or I’ll drive into traffic. I’m voting for Aaron Bushnell because they’re far braver than me. I hope Trump has a heart attack.

Which makes it all the more insane that you’ve openly yearned for a Trump presidency.

By doing what I can, and keeping in mind the historical perspective.
Tomorrow isn’t going to be a fucking utopia. Even an overwhelming, sudden, and ideologically ‘pure’ victory won’t bring a utopia tomorrow. But we fight day by day, and generation by generation, to make a better world.
Get a grip, talk to a therapist or trusted friend. It’s OK to not be plugged in 24/7. “If it bleeds it leads” is true and being inundated with horror constantly absolutely wears you down.
I’m literally mandated to talk to a therapist to keep my job now.
But I don’t think it’s okay to tune out. I’m complicit. I deserve to suffer for that. People who tune out are rejecting the responsibility they have to their victims to hear their stories and learn their names. I can’t look away, I don’t have that right.
The children dying under the rubble don’t get to take a break when they’re tired of the genocide being enabled by my government and my tax money. I’ll take a break when I’m not longer complicit.
By posting on here instead of doing work to alleviate starvation in countries affected by US imperialism, you’re complicit in the deaths of countless children.

By doing what you can without sacrificing an ounce of your own comfort. You’ve never fought for anything in your life.
Students are out there getting their heads bashed in for protesting genocide. That is what fighting for a better world looks like.
lmao
You keep thinking that, buddy. :)
Oh, goodness. I just considered - is this projection?
If that’s the case, there are alternatives to tormenting yourself over the fact that you aren’t ‘radical’ enough to do what you think you need to.

You have a terrible therapist.
Children dying under the rubble don’t get therapists. I’m lucky I can talk to someone, but I don’t deserved to feel better. I deserve to suffer.
But that doesn’t mean the rest of us have to. Maybe take a break for a bit.

Yes, and you are too. We’re damned together.
