I am so looking forward to another week on Lemmy full of assholes telling me I should care more about Palestinians than my own child because queer people are safe in America and Palestinians are dying.
(And any queer Palestinians in America? Fuck them, I guess. That's the message I seem to be getting.)
WhY dO yOu SuPpOrT GeNoCiDe JoE?
But for real, I could also ask why Lemmy mods/communities perpetuate this same BS. There’s an argument to neutrality but the overall narrative is getting pretty wild.
It was bad enough before the election, but this is just denial of what is actually happening in order to justify what they've said before.
It’s a willing disbelief to justify apathy? I can’t find any other logically valid explanations…
It’s like enough folks have their head in the sand for their own sake to allow this to happen…
Squid, as a highly stressed out banana who also needs to touch grass, I implore you, seriously, please touch grass.
As someone who has been told every single fucking day to put other people's needs above his daughters and also told every single fucking day that there is no need to worry about a queer genocide in the U.S., I implore you, seriously, to block me if you don't want me talking about how both claims are fucking ludicrous and how pissed off I am to have that thrown at me every fucking day.
So I am sorry you don't want people to talk about an impending genocide, but I really do not give a flying fuck about it stressing you out to hear about it any more than I would give a fuck about it stressing you out to hear about the Holocaust in the 1940s.
Quite the contrary. Say it loud and say it proud.
This part. This is the part that makes me think "He needs a break." And again, I say that as someone who also needs a break.
Maybe that's projection. I don't know. All I know is this is the first week that has left me seriously thinking about just deleting all my accounts, taking a break from the doom scrolling, and waiting for the dust to settle. The unproductive, bad faith, aggressive discourse on top of what is actually happening is mentally and physically exhausting.
You're still putting your time and energy into emigrating, right? That's got to be an exhausting process for a whole family to handle as it is.
I implore you, seriously. Take a few days away from being terminally online. "Flood the zone" is in full effect right now. This is the part where they're purposefully wearing us down. Save some of that energy for later.
Maybe it's not my place to offer that advice. I certainly don't know you personally. But you remind me a lot of me when I'm overwhelmed. Sorry about the bad-taste post before.
It absolutely is not your place to offer that advice. I am in no way "terminally online" either. If you actually took five seconds to look at my post history, you would see I was not around for most of yesterday because, and this may shock you, you don't actually know what I do.
This post is also bad taste because you are talking like you know me when you don't.
So how about minding your own business, and if you don't like what I have to say, there's a block button?
Squid, as a highly stressed out Kay who also needs to speak out against oppression and violence, I implore you, seriously, please keep up the good fight.
Thank you, and you as well!
