Yes the genocide of Palestinians is bad but I have only so much energy to care deeply about things in the world. I can’t change anything about what is happening there, it’s not in my power to do so.
I know people who work all the time and have energy. You have probably a mixture of privilege and exhaustion. We’re talking about scanning some barcodes so you can help avoid preventing fellow human beings, including children, from being massacred.
Am I privileged as a trans woman? There are many easy things that add up and take up mental space and lead to exhaustion and empathy/compassion fatigue.
I am a vegan lol
You know what I mean. Vegans are the vast minority among people.
More privileged than a Palestinian, hell yeah. So it’s still your duty.
I meant the inability between distinguishing moderating hate speech and supporting genocide.
Lemmy.ml definitely has its problem with nuanced positions.
Few ever explicitly call for Palestinian genocide in mixed company. Instead they hasbara. And most Zionists in the fediverse are liberal Zionists who don’t want to see a genocide, but somehow still haven’t come to terms with reality after almost a year and a half of genocide.

The alternative interpretation of this sentence, that they don’t want to see a genocide but they don’t mind if it happens where they don’t see it, is also true.
