  Yes the genocide of Palestinians is bad but I have only so much energy to care deeply about things in the world. I can’t change anything about what is happening there, it’s not in my power to do so.

    I don’t think you have bad intent here, but I think Riverside didn’t like the implication that “deep political discussions” are necessary to understand that “Israel/Palestine” is in fact “the colonial genocide of Palestinians by Israel”. I think that’s fair. It’s OK to not want to discuss politics online, but you don’t need “deep discussions” to know that colonialism is always wrong.

      And it is also not what I said or meant.

    Are you boycotting Israeli goods, media, and anything else that could give money to the Zionist entity? That’s the bare minimum any person of conscience should do.

      Yes, maybe that would do something but also as I said I can’t care about everything to the fullest degree or be informed about everything because no one has that energy. For example I could ask you the same regarding veganism and the vast majority of people won’t care about that (I care because every decision buying food, clothing and other things directly impacts the lives of animals for example).

        I know people who work all the time and have energy. You have probably a mixture of privilege and exhaustion.

        I am a vegan lol

    The point is to exhaust you down to the point you don’t fight back.
