Joy is one of our greatest acts of resistance. It’s very understandable to be in a bad mood with the news, but just remember how much it makes the conservatives blood boil to see you at peace

I also like to remember how many places are completely devastated by war right now and it puts things into perspective. I think any Palestinian child would rather be in a position where they are not starving to death, which I assume you are not

yeah i’m not saying i have it bad rn, i in fact have it pretty good. live in a nice area in the suburbs, have solid transportation, was able to take time off work to go to an iop program. that doesn’t mean im “at peace” though, arguably i think its naive to be at peace right now, because there are palestinian children being slaughtered and starving. i don’t know how you can be “at peace” with the current atrocities

Thich Nacht Han would say the opposite. He was instrumental in ending the Vietnam War

At peace doesn’t mean complicit. I should’ve clarified.
