hey maybe we should stop the fucking genocide. maybe, if you're a fucking human being with basic capacity for compassion, you could consider that SORT OF IMPORTANT, and the only other thing that could be considered more important or urgent is climate change, which there is no hope of any elected politician doing jack shit about within our (and humanity's) lifetimes.
also tho, yeah, wish we had serious action to take to protect uighurs, kurds, armenians (FUCKING AGAIN!), etc
Never seen someone so angry about something so not controversial.
thank you for assessing my emotions and deciding that the genocide that is still ongoing and nobody has intervened in, and in some cases made BDS illegal to do, is uncontroversial.
I'm not saying you shouldn't be angry I'm saying most people agree with you. We are all captive to things beyond our control. Let me know if you want help reconciling that.
if something can control you, you have SOME amount of control over it.
