This morning I was reminded by Hexbear that the CIA admitted to genocide in Indonesia in response to the book The Jakarta Method, but nobody cared. In fact, some dipshit Americans defended the CIA and downplayed the killings (presumably because they were communists, who we all know aren’t human).
Right after that, I read about a guy who was sentenced to 40 years in prison for leaking CIA secrets. The US government was pursuing a life sentence. When the guy complained in court about torturous cell conditions and the vengeful nature of what the government was seeking, the judge was disappointed by his lack of remorse. Oh, and they conveniently discovered he was viewing CSAM whilst in prison and has been formally charged with that. So that means he will forever now be known as a pedophile and can never be pardoned without the person doing it being labelled a pedophile sympathiser. This all happened because he had a conscience and told the world their plans.
But no, no one is evil. We should all just stop being angry and smile or whatever.
I’m actually quite happy irl. I get super angry on here, but somehow, this is about the only site that gets me in a foul mood without me taking that mood back into real life situations. I wouldn’t be here otherwise, i’m really strict about which content i expose myself to since i’ve learned how much it can fuck with me.
Some of the content on this website can have an emotional toll on users especially those with a poor mental state with many of those being unable to find any methods of using that pent up energy to help within their communities or engage in organizational activities manifests itself online. People would rather store that energy and argue and hurt their own comrades than take the steps toward actually doing something beneficial to others but mostly themselves
People here are extremely depressed and just need to cheer up a bit
A short and incomplete list of stuff to be worried about
The US could be on the path to war with Iran - US launches retaliatory strikes on Iranian-linked militia targets in Iraq and Syria. That news broke a few minutes ago.
Yesterday I learned this - There’s been a monster outbreak of measles in Europe. In 2022 there were 941 cases. In 2023 (not including November and December) there were 30,000 cases.
There’s the continuing genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza.
God only knows how much hotter and chaotic the world will get due to climate change.

There’s a lot of shit to be enraged and depressed about right now. And personally, in my life, nothing to smile about
I’m smiling almost daily, wouldn’t hurt to try
It literally hurts to try
easier said then done :deeper-sadness:

Living in an era where you can access limitless good information also means you can access limitless bad information
Probably not healthy tbh but maybe we’ll eventually get an answer
