Matthew Mercer's video/announcement is exactly why the practice of fans demanding statements from "celebrities" is so problematic.

If people CAN make a statement and speak out and feel like they are in a place to do so, they should. And if people make statements on the wrong side of things they SHOULD be held accountable and called out for their bullshit.

But you never know what someone is going through, you never know what someone is struggling with and capable of emotionally, and you never know what people are doing privately. Just because it's not being screamed from the rooftops, doesn't mean it's not being done.

Personally, I have stayed largely quiet on social media regarding the Genocide occurring in Gaza and the humanitarian crisis occurring at the hands of Israel because I spend my days providing therapy to those who, like Matt, are just stuck and depressed with everything that's happening in the world and just don't have it in them to fight yet another thing that's happening, and like them, by the time I get home, I need to separate myself from that.

That doesn't mean that I haven't done what I can, that I haven't donated and called my representatives and signed petitions, it just means that what one person has the capacity to do, someone else might not have the capacity to do.

!!!!! i cannot believe that the world has come to terrorist threats being made at innocent concerts

just today the eras tour dates in vienna were cancelled due to terrorist threats being made. im so glad they were able to notify people in time and stop the shows. but thats insane. people cant even go to a concert without being scared. it's supposed to be a fun, memorable night, but now those dreams have been ruined. glad everyone is safe and nothing bad happened, but i just feel so so bad for taylor and especially everyone who had tickets looking forward to this

In the Hunger Games, poorer people/districts are at a disadvantage in life. They are more likely to starve and more likely to die.

In The Divergent Trilogy, there is one group of people that seeks out to destroy another. Erudite, the smart, seek to systematically eradicate Abnegation, the selfless.

In Scythe, there are people who are allowed to decide if you live or die. Scythes use their own discretion on who to kill.

Do you know what these three books have in common?

They are works of dystopian literature.

Do recognize something? Can you connect something in these books to our modern world?

Yes, yes you can.

Economically disadvantaged people are less likely to find jobs and maintain a way of life. There are bills trying to be being passed in America to make it harder for people to rise out of impoverished backgrounds. (Hunger Games)

Racism is a large part of American history dating all the way back to the days of Colonialism. It can be seen today, 500+ years in the future as seen with recent rises in non-white aggression. (Divergent Trilogy)

The American healthcare system is shit. It’s impractical to actually go to a hospital without being in severe financial debt for the rest of your life. (Scythe)

We are living in a dystopian world. These examples are just in America. Open your eyes.

Plan bee is the dumbest thing I've ever seen. Bees are endangered and instead of saving the bees and helping the environment, they want to make robotic bees to do what natural bees already do. The world is fucked

The news: War, election results, re-voting the government, more war, cutting back on protection for rainforests

News Guy: Also, people from National Geographic found a 300 year old coral by the Salomon Isles. It's longer than a blue whale, the largest coral in the world and in good condition :)
