How The Hell Have You Been Keeping, Then?

what’s your worst sin out of the seven mine is pride. i’m never going to die btw

its just so... its not like i dont think ukraine is going through a horrible situation right now and i dont think all the solidarity with them is a bad thing or anything like that but its so sinister when you remember how little attention this would get if it was anything but a white country. where was palestine's somber chorus on snl? where was syria's moment of silence? why is israel still in eurovision? its just... its so transparent its not even funny.

Also why are we punishing the Russian citizens for the actions of the government

We’re not punishing the citizens, we’re punishing the government systems they use to make those payments so the citizens are more likely to take action like protest against their government instead of just saying “not my problem”

Thrusting millions of people into poverty through economic strangulation is in fact targeting its citizens. It is delusional, calloused, and dangerous to suggest otherwise. It also almost always does not work. The US stealing 3.5 billion in Afghan assets and sanctioning Afghanistan hasn’t led to the people rising up and overthrowing the Taliban. It’s led to millions more people being plunged into poverty to the point that thousands of parents are having to sell their own organs to keep their children fed. Even if you think that the end result IS a popular uprising that result is reached through intentional mass emmiseration.

high support people can make a difference in this world. maybe I won't go to college or get a job but I make a difference in lives of my friends. I make a difference in the lives of everyone around me. I make a difference in my communities. I make a difference when I do what I can for the earth, like growing baby trees so people more able than me can plant them in burn scars on the mountains. I make a difference to the birds I put food out for. I make a difference to my pets. I am important and make a difference to the world even without being able and doing the things abled people can. I make a difference by being alive.
