Used to be in awe, terror, and confusion at how genocides in history were allowed to happen.

Now I just look at it with awe and terror. Americans’ responses have cured my confusion. This is how it happened. Eat up state department lines. If not that, just ignore it outright. It’s not happening to us and we can’t do anything about it, right? The world just works the way it works and we totally couldn’t have been organizing against this for the last 100 years. Anyways, here’s a cool fucking shoe model I found. Look at this recipe! “Oh the world is so messy. Time to get back to work!”

How a group of people can be so stupid, how they can apply such racist double standards, how they can be so fucking silent and cowardly. You live in the most violent and powerful empire to ever exist. Is there no drive to make things better? Are we that jaded? I swear to God the average American can’t see anything but what’s 10 feet and 10 minutes in front of them. If THEIR child isn’t being blown up or genocided it’s not on the front of their mind.

“Civilized” society my fucking ass. Bunch of barbarians. I hope the pictures and memories of the Palestinian people haunt their memories forever when the rest come around to realize what’s really going on. I hope they know exactly where they would’ve been during past historical events: silently on the side of the oppressor.

I have never felt this disgusted with the world and my “fellow USians” (as if I even want to identify as one anymore). This is fucking pathetic.

Don’t want to be “poor me I’m so disgusted” because there’s obviously real things happening to real people. Just voicing this to an audience who actually gets it.

    BRO I feel exactly the same! This horror is unraveling right in front of our eyes while people in their ignorance are simply siding with the oppressors… I’ve been so frustrated lately with the sheer stupidy of people. Yet I don’t wanna stop debating with them, cuz I feel like it’s our job to try our best to correct and educate those ppl to at least show them that there’s other ways of thinking out there - beyond the propaganda. But I swear, some ppl’s takes have been permanently scarring to listen to, and I’ve been so upset about my lib friends who cannot help themselves but say stupid shit QwQ

    Thank you for sharing, fr… This world is sick, but I’m at least glad to know what the antidote is and to have my comrades with whom I will fight for that antidote as long as need be. It’s not much but it fills me with hope.

      Exactly. Always wondered who’d be what in a scenario like a Rwanda. Turns out we know now, unfortunately. Totally agree that it’s our job to never stop trying to educate. That one Sankara quote comes to mind.

      Literally this is stupid but I was playing Overwatch (I know sue me) today and this guy literally was dropping like genocidal rhetoric. “They shouldn’t have killed 40 babies if they didn’t want to be genocided. Fuck Palestine” in the chat.

      Probably a troll. But maybe not. I’ve seen real people say shit like that and I’m just so upset

      In a fucked up way, I’m so jacked up from this. I need to do more. More. More. I genuinely am going to dedicate much of my life to this. I’m only university aged. Think about what we could do if thousands of us did that
