It’s perfect okay to not want your nation to have global ambitions. Most people know external forces can’t really solve internal problems. Some people needed to invade Afghanistan to really hit the nail on the head.

Okay so you don’t care about human rights? You don’t care that it could set off an even bigger war? This is the dumbest shit I’ve ever seen. Youre a horrible human being

It’s bad for my mental health if I emotionally invest myself and what’s ultimately a foreign conflict. No I don’t wanna pick a side. They are both horrible. I already done my research. I feel for the innocent people that have lost their lives, especially in Gaza, but this is not something I have control over after all. To be honest, I was a little angry when I first made that post but I promise you I am not a horrible human being.

yeah i imagine it’s also pretty bad for people’s mental health to be living in an active war zone…

I agree but this is not something I have control over and all the attempts by the protesters have backfired on them. So why emotionally invest myself?

it’s reasonable to be overwhelmed, but i think a more appropriate response would be to log off social media and take a break from reading the news. “it’s a foreign land and I don’t care what’s happened there” is a pretty callous thing to say.

I’m sorry that I came off callous but it’s just impossible to escape. Especially when even irl discussions are just two extremes. There was a time where I did care but I just can’t anymore.
