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.
Just take a break from social media that does wonders. This guy can testify for that
Holy shit. The Onion hits again.
This is the most goated comment I've ever read in lemmy. Fucking based.
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.
I wish someone would kick down my door and shoot me
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.
Well, you could always try the new trend of extreme tourism in Gaza
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
This is the Memes community.
Shieeeeeeeet
Well I guess there really isn't an escape
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
Few months! What a luxury.
Well, my people have been oppressed for over 2000 years, but I'm not counting that since I haven't been alive for most of it.
There's a video going around that pretty much has a lot to say about what biblical scholars have found out about that, you should watch it. But the world as it is has everyone essentially belonging to "people" who would be oppressed if they chose to move someplace else in the world, they just don't build their entire identity around it. I mean, look at the Canaanites, they even have religions that completely sanctify their genocide in their scriptures.
Not what you were complaining about or even identifying with. About the only common theme is a desperate love for making yourself out to be the victim after receiving criticism.
The only one trying to live in a bubble of ignorance is yourself, my comment was leading up to the exact opposite, that if it does not affect you personally, it will, so stop acting and ignoring all the people it is affecting personally because of "me, me, me" and how and when it less severely affects you, and face it.
Getting assaulted by a stranger is bad, huh. Now apply f-ing empathy, get some off of ebay if you must. Just don't try to get me to empathize with playing the part of an ignorant fool.
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.
I'm gonna willingly expose myself to a bullet if I can't get some rest without nightmares soon
So these nightmares are coming to you without your consent. Thatβs why your mental health is declining. To go the other direction, you face those nightmares willingly.
One way to do this would be to write down one of your nightmares. Nobody forces you through that writing other than yourself. It happens at your pace, at your initiative.
That willing approach is the path out of your sickness.
Please try this before you try shooting yourself.
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.
Might have something to do with the fact that Russia was unprovoked. Which is very different than this conflict.
How?
I assume they were alluding to the kidnapping, raping, beheading, etc perpetrated by the terrorist organization Hamas, done as a tactical move to draw a disproportionate response from the IDF in order to win the propaganda war.
And before that Israel so happened to be just ramping up settler violence and assaulting people in Jerusalem trying to get into Al-Aqsa mosque. Totally unrelated. /s
I think they were just trying to draw attention to how it's not nearly as one sided
I don't think this is unique at all, it's the core of all politics both left, right, authoritarian, liberal, etc. No matter what you believe, even if it's nothing, there are always twice as many people against you than with you. It's enough to make someone withdraw entirely.
