Talk about whatever, respecting the rules established by Lemmygrad. Failing to comply with the rules will grant you a few warnings, insisting on breaking them will grant you a beautiful shiny banwall.

A community for comrades to chat and talk about whatever doesn't fit other communities

the isn'treal just pirated hundreds of people and it's crickets, no major uproar, not even that much Hasbara this time, just... nothing

even hearing from one of the IOF mercs on the livestream, "we've done this hundreds of times before", with total impunity

torn between thoughts of adventurism, fedposting, doomerism, and all those unpleasant emotions

That is the sign that you should get off the internet and have a break. Sadly nothing you can do to affevt that situation... the wins of the working class are made everyday by doing what you can.

Taking a mental toll is not one of them

Don't lose hope comrade. Our best shot is to keep channelling all of this rage and sadness into organization. Organization means joining a collective where you perform agitation or even General strikes like happened in Italy.

Soon all of this impunity and horror will end.

If it can cheer you up, a general strike was held in my country two days ago.

On a side note, the silence surrounding this event might just be due to greater censoring by bourgeois media outlets.

I share your sentiments. My thoughts has been harming me with alot of doomerism over whether we will see the fall of the genocidal state and the liberation of Palestine within our lifetime. Reading any Israel news that has just been nothing but "they continue to commit atrocities with little repercussions". In the positives, Hezbollah continues to be a successful thorn and should be commemorated but they too will likely have limits and it's hard to tell if it will swing back to Israel's favor simply because they are funded by the most shameless, disgusting, but still wealthy and powerful U.S. empire.

However, I do think it's helpful to take a step back and ruminate about how we can take those feelings into something that can produce productive results. By all means, do take a break, go sleep, or even distract yourself for just a few minutes to get your thoughts in order.

It's fine to be sad and angry, you should be. We are helpless depending on where we are but the fall of Israel and Zionism will not come in a day. Engaging in wantless doomerism and adventurism will only entrench the genocidal state.

i mean, the zionist entity still has good financial muscle and a very daring and psychopatic sugar daddy that defends it against "da antisemantics" who call them genocidals. but we can't let ourselves be sunken by their propaganda...the haze is dissipating, we have to resist the doomerism
