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?

wait, they are talking about just going full "dictatorship style" and excluding a party with 14% of the votes of the result?

Also, I'm pretty fine right now. I'm working on a research project at my university, for which I've received an scholarship grant (about 120USD per month for a year, which is about 0.5x the minimum wage)

Other stuff to say: Here in Brazil the Palestina conflict is being pretty controversial. The evangelicals are fully supporting Israel, "leftists" are split on the subject, and the government (as in traditional Brazilian foreign policy) is trying to keep itself neutral.

More stuff to say: The government here is discussing a possible humanitarian visa for armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh and palestinians, which would help them escape their conflicts to Brazil. I do not know if I should support this or not (especially the palestinan part) because this would just accelerate their displacement and would in the end help the israeli forces in their effort to ethnically cleanse palestine. Still, I do think that people who want to leave should be able to leave.

Wtf? As an American I'm used to "leftists" being quarter brained jackasses, but at least they seem consistently decent on Palestine. Why are Brazilian leftists split on it?

Because there are lots of real leftists in Brazil that usually get lumped in with the "leftists" of the revisionist parties.
