I'm literally mandated to talk to a therapist to keep my job now.
But I don't think it's okay to tune out. I'm complicit. I deserve to suffer for that. People who tune out are rejecting the responsibility they have to their victims to hear their stories and learn their names. I can't look away, I don't have that right.
You have a terrible therapist.
Children dying under the rubble don't get therapists. I'm lucky I can talk to someone, but I don't deserved to feel better. I deserve to suffer.
The children dying under the rubble don’t get to take a break when they're tired of the genocide being enabled by my government and my tax money. I'll take a break when I'm not longer complicit.
By posting on here instead of doing work to alleviate starvation in countries affected by US imperialism, you're complicit in the deaths of countless children.
Until you unlearn the indoctrination by your 'friends' who've convinced you of the cult of heroism common to fascist and theocratic movements (but I repeat myself), you're never going to be happy or make a difference in the world.
Yes, and you are too. We're damned together.
No, because I'm not a fucking fascist simp who's fallen for the cult of heroism.
Do some reading. LISTEN to your therapist instead of just reluctantly attending. Or nut up and get the fuck off of here and stop bothering non-fascists with your dribble.
You don't get to vote for genocide and then wash your hands of it. Take some responsibility for your actions.
