This is what many leftists chose to stand for during the past weeks in my threads when I asked for more political activism

Good job. I sure feel like one of you!!

It doesn't seem like anyone truly cares anymore.

And you don't want me to either.

Congrats.

Any war is a loss of civilians and no matter what wrong. It doesn't matter if it's about race, religion, any other political disagreement. Wars and terrors are put onto civilians. Any conflict, whether Gaza, Sudan, Ukraine or any other place that have civil casualties are tragedies that should be put to an end, and even better have been avoided by actions at an earlier point in time of history. I'm sad when policies block the right thing to do out of humanitarian reasons. Unfortunately we have a political system that limits how much each individual can do with their vote to influence politicians and leave people with a choice to pick the lesser option of evils. I'm fortunate to live in a representative democracy where we aren't limited to pick between only two or three alternatives. We actually can pick between more and also pick ones that look differently on how to deal with these humanitarian crisis. We can individually or in groups do efforts to influence our politicians. Everyone have to make up how to make the difference in life they want to be for themselves in accordance to what they believe will keep them at peace with their minds and hearts when looking at the results of weapons used against civilians.

I do care, and I never want you to stop caring either, and I won't accept any congrats on this topic.

I am talking about Palestine because Palestinians are the ones being repressed and targeted by both parties. They are the ones being prevented from speaking up. And their GENOCIDE is being directly funded by the US, to a greater extent than any other current involvement. And if we do not act now, it will be too late to get them represented.

I spent more than an hour of my very precious time responding to people's excuses for why they can't take actions, despite of me providing them with ample resources and suggestions to. It is not that they can't do anything about it, it is that they do not want to.

I am not about to empathize with their abhorrent attitudes, no matter the reason. Because it would be enabling passiveness which is the main cause of deaths. People refusing to do all they can to make sure those in charge start reflecting their wants. I have no empathy whatsoever to waste on them. I rather spend my energy on those who are actually helpless, not ones who feel sorry for themselves and like me to play a role in their cognitive dissonance. I am done with that.

I can't speak for people. I can only talk for myself. Hence my remark on '[e]veryone have to make up how to make the difference in life they want to be for themselves in accordance to what they believe will keep them at peace with their minds and hearts when looking at the results of weapons used against civilians.'

@SUPERVlXEN I appreciate you a great deal. None of what you did for me is forgotten, even when I am this upset.

It's okay and you won't know who I'm close to, both family wise here and other ways. I can assure you it's no one going easy on this. But as I told you we got an easier path than a lot of other countries due to having more options to pick among to have real political influence on the government. Not like it's a walk on the bright sight.
