#it’s a non-partisan issue like i know people bring it up with pro-war conservatives (e.g Vietnam) but leftists do it constantly

Always thinking/reading/writing about sunk cost fallacy and the ways it permeates our lives, so will say that it has historically been very easy (too easy) for people to apply it to mass violence. Lamenting the dead shouldn’t be paired with statements like ‘the murder toll will never stop climbing,’ ‘it’s over,’ ‘every child will die.’ I know these are well-meaning gestures of sympathy and expressions of helplessness, but Palestine is not gone, Palestinians are not gone. To actively uncouple despair from hope is a disservice to human life. 🇵🇸
