The events after October 7th are really fucking with my mental wellbeing. First of all I want to say that I know the west has always been fucked up. But the sheer amount of hate, propaganda and lying that has been going on ever since is just sickening.
Like, I am actively trying to fight against a genocide by protesting, raising awareness, aiding strikers and whatnot. I see images of dead children on the daily. I see images of starving people on the daily. I see war crimes being committed. Every. Single. Day. But somehow the media and the politicians and other people are trying to make it seems like I am in the wrong? For opposing apartheid and genocide? It makes me sick. It is despicable. It makes me seriously doubt why I am living in this society. How on earth will I ever be able to function normally when they very society I need to contribute to, is supporting genocide? I can't wrap my mind around it.
The propaganda really does hurt, especially seeing what it does to others. So many people I love I now have to contend with being pretty much fascists who at near every chance given will gleefully talk my ear off about how stupid the Palestinians are for not liking the US or how protestors should be locked up/run over; they even donate to the IDF. Perfectly intelligent and empathetic people suddenly acting like monsters. It's made it so much harder to be around those close to me.
It fucking sucks seeing people you care about defend Israel. It makes me mistrust the people around me
Feeling gaslit by the imperialists and genocidal sociopaths. You’re on the right side, comrade. Thanks for putting your ethics and morals into action.
Are you finding that to be true even with younger people? I would expect them to be at least less disinformed than older folks. If so, it might make sense to focus your efforts there.
But I hear you. Where I live, it's as if Palestine doesn't even exist. Only one protest was organized after October 7th, and since then it seems everyone is back to normal.
