What is this supposed to mean? Is the implication that for the past ten thousand years, everyone should have lived in constant misery, thinking of nothing but the suffering of innocents, without a moment to spare for joy or silliness?
Or are you trying to twist their words to suggest that the suffering of innocents now isn’t important because it’s been happening for 10k years? Because that was clearly not the message being made. The closest I could imagine is they may be pointing out that some treat pointing out innocents suffering as a fad, where people all of a sudden care and can’t believe that anyone else can do or care about anything else (and will burn out and stop caring once the fad is done, whether the issue has been resolved or not).
Either way, if you spend your whole time doomscrolling and never leave yourself a space for moth memes (or whatever), you will be no help to anyone and live in impotent misery.
I am not saying the moth memes do not have their place. I am saying that having innocents dying for 10 thousand years does not mean it’s acceptable to allow it just because of the length of time that it has been happening.
Wether it’s acceptable or not is irrelevant to scrolling through social media or the existence of memes, moth or otherwise. Seeing some memes after years of people endlessly posting about the various conflicts, (because you are tripping hard of you think ko one has been talking about the genocide on this website…) doesn’t imply anyone thinks its “acceptable” to allow it (or is allowing it?).
While at the same time allowing people to be systemically murdered through lack of access to necessities because someone wasn’t able to make a profit off of them.
Or are you trying to say those deaths are justified just because the state doesn’t label it as “murder”?

Basically, moth memes are self care.

My point was you reading news articles won’t change anything. So why read them?
Are you going to do anything but wallow in depression? Just doomscrolling all day?

That is a fat projection

I don’t know what part of the world you live in. But in my corner, we investigate murder, find the responsible and prosecute them.
That’s pretty much the opposite of allowing murder.
