Tiring times in the world right now. I am extremely mad at how Palestina gets covered here and how we are watching a genocide unfold while accepting everything the IDF puts forwards as true. I honestly think I can't get back to normal after seeing the shit that has happened in the past weeks. How can I ever act normal to people who are casually accepting genocide as the right thing to do?

But personally I feel like doing okay. I tackled some problems I had a while ago and so far things seem to go right. I'm even starting to make some sort of plan for the next few years about where I want to end up. The options I have in mind are somewhere along the Atlantic Ocean in Europe, a certain European island or somewhere more remote in a forest. But we're talking about between now and ten years. My job and my health are doing okay as well.

Even politics seem positive because according to the polls our party is now standing at 14% of the votes and the campaign hasn't even started. We're doing so well that other parties are now talking about excluding is from results lol.

How about you?

I'm doing a little better lately. I finally found a family doctor and have a mental health appointment scheduled next month. I'm hoping to get treatment for ADHD, anxiety, and depression. I'm interested to see what's on the other side after living ADHD and anxiety all my life, and depression for the adult portion of it.

I also recently switched teams at work and so far the work has been more interesting and the environment less stressful. It's still early days, but things are looking good so far. My new manager also seems to not be a sociopath, so there's that too.

As far as Israel-Palestine, the mainstream narratives have been disappointing to say the least. I suppose that's to be expected though. In contrast to his Ukraine-Russia perspective, HasanAbi's coverage has been excellent and uncompromising. I think there's more of a willingness among the general public to see Israel as an oppressor whereas Ukraine has just been propoganized to hell.

I've been using this as an opportunity to radicalize some friends. There's a ton of historical MSM content that supports the Palestinian struggle. Bernie's recent statement is a good example of social democracy being the moderate wing of fascism.

I still held a soft spot for Bernie but man that position he took shit that bed.

Me too, but I was previously unfamiliar with how dogshit his foreign policy is. It's unfortunate, but ultimately not surprising. The hipocracy to spend your life advocating for the liberation of the working class in the west, but fuck everyone else. He's just another western chauvinist.
