sry to be emo on main but i think watching the world tacitly enable genocide and settler colonialism (both violent and ‘non violent’ forms) despite having so much hard proof that it’s objectively Bad has . kind of ruined me

#it’s one thing knowing ur own country is still dealing w the consequences of British imperialism quite severely #but like. I kind of rationalised it with ‘well at least other countries can learn from example and avoid things like this happening again’#+ when u learn abt world history ur like . wow that was horrible . I’m at least glad we can learn from it to prevent atrocities .#I’m gonna say between Congo/Sudan/Armenia/Palestine that uh No . that was not the takeaway other ppl had #it’s hard to explain why it feels worse than ever before . I know I’m a biased view bc personal life has not been . gr8 in recent times #but I think it’s the fact that the advancement of tech/soc med didn’t bring global Protest . it has brought global Endorsement #it’s horrendous watching artists I know who were already financially struggling get fired/etc for having the ‘radical’ take that #settler colonialism is wrong and does nothing but harm its victims And even its own supporters #At the personal and global level . why is it considered more outrageous to point out the problem than the problem itself .#the rationale is getting people killed. it has been for a long time
