Itâs making all of us sick. I wish I could ignore all this too. I actually tried to, but then my government decided to step in on the world state and loudly pronounce âthere is no genocide!â. And then cut humanitarian funding after the international court of justice anonymously found âcredibly risk of genocideâ. Which makes my country now complicit if this genocide is allowed to continue. Which makes me deeply ashamed and angry.
Comment on It was in self-defence đ

Have you considered you could just be wrong?
LarmyOfLone@lemm.ee â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
Iâm basing this on the facts as presented by Israel themselves and judged practically anonymously by 15 judges of the highest court of the world. Sure, but have YOU considered you could be wrong?
If youâre wrong youâre aiding a genocide. If Iâm wrong Iâm just another âanti-semiteâ.

Block everyone you disagree with
smotherlove@sh.itjust.works â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
Itâs not about who I disagree with, I canât take the animosity anymore. Iâm tired of thinking about war every day.
Maggoty@lemmy.world â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
Yup, itâs a drag. We need to do something about it though, itâs like a rash. It doesnât go away until you see the doctor, or in this case vote in someone willing to tell other countries they canât do this shit with our weapons.
smotherlove@sh.itjust.works â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
Itâs destroying my mental health and I canât cope with it. Not just the war but the constant anger. Everyone is angry about everything all the time. I hate it here. Not only that, I hate my own life too. My life is in shambles and it will take tremendous effort to repair, just so I can stay on this dying planetâŚ
Seriously, whatâs the fucking point? I donât eat anymore cause of the stress, I donât sleep anymore cause of the nightmares. I wish aliens would come and euthanize our entire fucking planet. I canât take it anymore
snek@lemmy.world â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
That I understand. Maybe you could try a browser extension to block text or news based on keywords? One parental control extension helped me filled out news from rich people that piss me off
smotherlove@sh.itjust.works â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
Maybe. But doesnât help that I canât go to store to buy food without seeing 10 different types of propaganda and vitriol⌠I canât take it dude. I want to go to sleep and never wake up
harry_balzac@lemmy.world â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
Leave Lemmy? Use a front end with filtering/blocking? Change communities? Plenty of options if you just take a hreath and think instead of whining.
Linkerbaan@lemmy.world â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
Go back to Reddit
Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
Piss off.

How are you using lemmy? I use Connect on android and it has a setting for word filters that filter posts you dont want. This drastically improved my exerience once i started using it to filter trump posts.
AMDIsOurLord@lemmy.ml â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
Lmfao imagine siding with a genocide
smotherlove@sh.itjust.works â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
I hate Israel. I hate Palestine. I hate the discourse. I hate fucking EVERYTHING.
Being made to think about war every day for years on end is destroying my mental health. I canât use a computer, watch TV, or go outside without it shoved down my throat. I canât even go to sleep without having nightmares about it. I want off this fucking ride. I hate being alive so fucking much.
Linkerbaan@lemmy.world â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
Just take a break from social media that does wonders. This guy can testify for that

This is the most goated comment Iâve ever read in lemmy. Fucking based.
smotherlove@sh.itjust.works â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
I wish someone would kick down my door and shoot me
Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
Dude, most of us are on the other side of the world, living in countries that can do little more than send a sternly worded letter to Israel.
Being constantly reminded of that shitshow doesnât help.
TheObviousSolution@lemm.ee â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
That must be nice, not having your life put in danger so you can feel depressed about hearing other peopleâs life being put in danger. Hope it lasts for you, but predictions for this century say war is going to become pretty rampant globally, so Iâd recommend you find a way of coping with it better.
smotherlove@sh.itjust.works â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
Not like you give a shit at all but hate crimes against my kind have skyrocketed in the past few months and I was assaulted by a stranger in public about two weeks ago so I donât appreciate the implication that this doesnât affect me personally
AMDIsOurLord@lemmy.ml â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
Well then, log off your main acc and create one locked just to the good feelings parts of lemmy
You do have the option of taking a digital break. You must remember thst everyone has a limit, and once you push them hard enough they tend to push back

Itâs not Palestiniansâ fault for being occupied and mass murdered. How are you so shameless centering and victimizing yourself for being forced to hear about people suffering genocide? This shit is unbelievable.
Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
Palestine supporters are fairly unique in the fact that not caring or not having a position is unacceptable to them. You must care, you must share their viewpoint, nothing else is possible.
You didnât see the same reaction to, for example, Ukraine being invaded. Indifference was acceptable.
snek@lemmy.world â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
In the example of Ukraine, countries have taken countless measures to pressure Russia. In this case, counties are complicit in the genocide. Thereâs a difference. People donât protest when politicians do at least the bare minimum.
smotherlove@sh.itjust.works â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
I donât think this is unique at all, itâs the core of all politics both left, right, authoritarian, liberal, etc. No matter what you believe, even if itâs nothing, there are always twice as people against you than with you. Itâs enough to make someone withdraw entirely.
intensely_human@lemm.ee â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
The only escape from something you cannot escape is to embrace it. The thing that degrades mental health is being unwillingly exposed. If the thing cannot be avoided, the only other move is to willingly expose yourself to it.
smotherlove@sh.itjust.works â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
Iâm gonna willingly expose myself to a bullet if I canât get some rest without nightmares soon
Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
Indifference is unacceptable, you must care about the thing!
Sod off.
abuttandahalf@lemmy.ml â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
Indifference about genocide is not just unacceptable, itâs evil, you piece of shit.
crapwittyname@lemm.ee â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
You are simultaneously denying the Uyghur genocide on another thread, you fucking nasty little hypocrite.
Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee â¨10⊠â¨months⊠ago
Oh look, a Lemmy.ml user acting like a prick. How unprecedented.
Nobody owes you their attention.
