          Indifference about genocide is not just unacceptable, it’s evil, you piece of shit.

        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 can’t use a computer, watch TV, or go outside without it shoved down my throat. I can’t even go to sleep without having nightmares about it. I want off this fucking ride. I hate being alive so fucking much.

            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 doesn’t help.

            • Please see a mental health professional, or seek assistance if you are in acute crisis. If you google “mental health hotline” or “crisis hotline” you’ll find a number for your country you can reach out to.

              I hope you are getting better soon.

          That must be nice, not having your life put in danger so you can feel depressed about hearing other people’s 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 I’d recommend you find a way of coping with it better.

            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 don’t appreciate the implication that this doesn’t affect me personally

          It’s not Palestinians’ 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.

          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.

          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 didn’t see the same reaction to, for example, Ukraine being invaded. Indifference was acceptable.

            In the example of Ukraine, countries have taken countless measures to pressure Russia. In this case, counties are complicit in the genocide. There’s a difference. People don’t protest when politicians do at least the bare minimum.

        It’s not about who I disagree with, I can’t take the animosity anymore. I’m tired of thinking about war every day.

          Yup, it’s a drag. We need to do something about it though, it’s like a rash. It doesn’t go away until you see the doctor, or in this case vote in someone willing to tell other countries they can’t do this shit with our weapons.

            It’s destroying my mental health and I can’t 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 planet…

            Seriously, what’s the fucking point? I don’t eat anymore cause of the stress, I don’t sleep anymore cause of the nightmares. I wish aliens would come and euthanize our entire fucking planet. I can’t take it anymore

              I’m sorry you feel this way.

              Try to remember that the internet is not fully representative of real life. The world outside will hopefully feel less angry and stressful than this online one.

              Definitely avoid social media doomscrolling. It’s fucking toxic.

              Doesn’t have to be the whole planet, just the top 400 richest people would do wonders though. Most of us are just trying to get by, put the blame on the one misusing “human resources”.

          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

              :( sorry.

              You can’t filter IRL yet but what about only subscribing to wholesome communities?

              I think that’ll eliminate at least 95% of the problem here.

              Also don’t forget we live in a simulation / you’re the only person who exists, so you can smile best you can at the war news and ignore it best you can.

      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.

      It’s 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 “there is no genocide!”. And then cut humanitarian funding after the international court of justice anonymously found “credibly risk of genocide”. Which makes my country now complicit if this genocide is allowed to continue. Which makes me deeply ashamed and angry.

      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.
