I am not saying the moth memes do not have their place. I am saying that having innocents dying for 10 thousand years does not mean it's acceptable to allow it just because of the length of time that it has been happening.
wrote on last edited by [email protected]Wether it's acceptable or not is irrelevant to scrolling through social media or the existence of memes, moth or otherwise. Seeing some memes after years of people endlessly posting about the various conflicts, (because you are tripping hard of you think no one has been talking about the genocide on this website...) doesn't imply anyone thinks its "acceptable" to allow it (or is allowing it?).

Go to [email protected] and see the aftermath of all the bombing happening. (NSFL)

Moths generally make you feel better than murder.
From an outside perspective. From an "oh, I just murdered a shitton of empanadas" perspective, still probably better. Fuck now I want like 100 empanadas

Look. My therapist has a hard time keeping me from spiraling into a doom hole without being reminded about yet more horrible human bullshit every waking minute. Let me enjoy my stupid bullshit, motherfucker.

If the choice is between depressing news I can do nothing about, and moth memes, please forgive me if I choose the moth memes.

It is, in fact, everybody's job to keep their poise, especially in the middle of hell, because otherwise they become incapable of becoming informed anyway, since they just go rage-blind.

My point was you reading news articles won't change anything. So why read them?
Are you going to do anything but wallow in depression? Just doomscrolling all day?
That is a fat projection

I'm saying the time waiting doesn't matter.

I don't know what part of the world you live in. But in my corner, we investigate murder, find the responsible and prosecute them.
That's pretty much the opposite of allowing murder.

Who's allowing it because of the time waiting? Are they in the room with us? >.>

Thing is, we can do something about it — just not alone.
The rub is that it requires other people joining us and organizing to use our collective power to assert our political authority to take back ownership over the base resources which enable society to exist and devise a new system to replace the current, failed system.
Unfortunately that takes a lot of hard work and an inordinate amount of risk. People aren't ready yet to take that plunge; there are still too much bread and circuses keeping the majority of the working class distracted and pacified.
But hey, lamp right?

Rage can be a useful tool when that anger is channeled into a cause.
We shouldn't lose ourselves to anger, that is true, but we also shouldn't pacify ourselves out of fear of it.

There's been innocent people getting killed every day for the last ten thousand years. What would you scrolling through news stories on the Internet actually accomplish?
Making people angry enough to get up and do something about it, angry enough to disregard the system and start breaking it. Angry enough to disobey.
Instead people are all too happy to remain obedient to the very system that oppresses them as long as they continue to be provided their bread and circuses.

While at the same time allowing people to be systemically murdered through lack of access to necessities because someone wasn't able to make a profit off of them.
Or are you trying to say those deaths are justified just because the state doesn't label it as "murder"?
-
what gave you that idea?
The current state of western democracy?
In my personal opinion, one of the most effective things you can do is collective bargaining. And on that note, imo not enough people have been convinced that somethings got to change. You have to have that consensus before real change.
Western neoliberal democracy isn't the only option and, depending on perspective, was part of the problem by systemically enabling the rise of fascism.

you got to find joy when you can
i understand this sentiment, i really do. but people are being kidnapped, deported, MURDERED.
i'm glad that the moths make you feel better.
all it does for me is to reinforce the impulse that not only are we as a people just fucked, but also we as a people can't be bothered to deal with the fact that we're fucked
again, i'm not telling anyone what to do. except: enjoy your moths
People really be arguing in favor of bread and circuses without understanding it is the very thing that is keeping them from engaging in political action for change.

I'm saying 10,000 year or two mins doesn't make the act any different. Which was in my original response.

Again. I don't know where you are from. But here. We don't let people starve or freeze to death because they cannot afford basic necessities.
It just doesn't happen. I don't have to say they're unjustified or justified. I can say. They don't happen in the first place.
