the thing is though, there's a sort of perverse privilege to make this argument, yknow? like no one is forcing you to invest all your time doomscrolling, feel free to live your life, etc. but, in the process of saying this, you're basically saying that you would be able to tune out with no consequences, if not for the dang social media algorithm. if you were a Palestinian/Muslim/Arab in the US (to say nothing of being IN Gaza), you would absolutely not have that luxury. if I were you, I'd count my blessings that seeing some fucked up images is the worst outcome that you can't avoid.
valid, I guess my point moreso is it feels performative from some of these people that I know personally, and I just don't feel like seeing mutilated people when I'm expecting to see a cute selfie of my friend :\ hear ur point tho definitely a very privileged thing to say
also #132, I said I don't have a real opinion bcus I'm not educated enough to say something that hasn't been said, I obviously would love to hear about a cease fire happening

here's the boycott I'm partaking in just for anyone reading my post and assuming I'm some apathetic fuck. I'm genuinely just sick of seeing shit that I already heard about in the news lol
