    This is backwards. The vast majority of people, certainly here on the internet, support the Palestinians. Especially young people, even when you are looking outside of the internet.

    Meanwhile, almost everybody seems to have forgotten about the plight of the Ukrainians.

          I’ve been upset since the moment I saw the people in Yemen starve. They’re not in a good position but I can’t do shit so worrying about it only hurts me.

            Be upset. Always. It’s what good people do!Never allow yourself to be happy because you have peace, for there are others who have no such opportunity for peace. People are always suffering, so why choose to be a discompassionate monster by just being okay with what is going on in your own life, when you could scroll past images of other people’s misery and do the virtuous thing of getting upset.

              Yeah, let’s strawman everyone who expects emotional investment from you instead, because the only thing that matters in this world is you and your feelings, and fuck everyone else’s.

          no, you are supposed to see the bad guys as lower than animals, the reason i don’t shed as many tears for the Russians is that those on the front have a chance to flee and surrender, and many people do take it

            Or, we could just not see any person as lower than animals, and it’ll lead to way less bloodshed than anyone having to flee and surrender would.

              surrendering literally leads to less bloodshed, but many Russian soldiers are of the opinion that Russia uber alles

      I don’t think support of the Palestinians was that clear even a few weeks ago. At least in relation to current events. Opinions were in a lot of flux

      I think they’re talking about the tankies, who love Russia and think Ukraine had it coming.
