    no dog in the “conflict”

    very poorly informed on the matter

    I somehow struggle to believe that you can possibly be poorly informed on the most livestreamed genocide in the history of humanity

      And we instantly switch to political bullshit. I also have no fucking clue about the Palestine situation. Yeah, I hear people mention it, and I find stuff about it while going over completely unrelated stuff, and I choose to remain ignorant in the topic because I refuse to add more stress to my life unless there is no other option. You choose to care/follow the topic? Good for you, enjoy OT, I don’t.

          I am privileged, with a will that allows me to remain away from bullshit if I choose to without caring if anyone gets offended by choices I make that happen to mine to make anyway.

          I feel sorry for the crowd that has to ne policing anything different than what they think because their lives are so empty they have nothing to fill them with so that is all they can try.

          That’s a very sad way to live, so yeah, I guess I am privileged to not live like that.

            I feel sorry for most of the people in your life. Willful ignorance and selfishness sounds like they’re a running theme in your existence.

            Our ability to think twice about an ongoing genocide is exactly the privilege being pointed out.

            This comment makes me think you might not be aware of that, but I get you probably feel attacked by people’s reactions. Just know that everyone giving backlash is thinking that if you were well informed on the matter, you would think very differently.

              I guess, you may be right. In my defense, I have mentioned in all my comments that I am not well informed.

      Not the same person. I don’t read the news, and I try not to watch genocides. I’m poorly informed about most politics and pretty happy about it to be honest. Sounds like they should probably stop genociding, that’s usually a bad thing to do. But I’m not going to pretend I know what’s actually happening over there or that I can do anything about it.

                  All I hear is personal attacks. How is it disgusting privilege to just live my life? Your life would be exactly the same if you didn’t open the news. It’s just the news cycle preying on your sense of injustice and impotent rage for clicks and money. There’s literally nothing you can do to stop a country on the other side of the world from doing stuff. And being snarky and hostile to neutral parties isn’t going to gather you any more support or sympathy.

                    nobody gives a fuck about neutral parties lmao. You’re admitting you’re willfully ignorant of important facts, then adding “should probably stop genociding” like yeah, “probably”, dude.

                    You act like you don’t wanna take shit seriously and then expect people to take you seriously, you must be very dense, or young.

                    It’s just the news cycle preying on your sense of injustice and impotent rage for clicks and money.

                    Truly enlightened state of mind. I wonder why you bother thinking down into the realm of us sheep, you must really be interested in social issues “on both sides”, huh?

                    Petulant whining. I’m sure you aren’t, but are you familiar with how apartheid in South Africa was addressed? You aren’t powerless to affect change, unless you plug your ears and ignore it.
