    I agree hate is a terrible thing. Tbh though it’s ridiculous to try and direct your empathy towards the richest most unaffected people getting flamed for engaging in their luxury hobbies while vulnerable minorities are increasingly being targeted by actual violence.

    Maybe luxury car owners, high end computer enthusiasts, and adults larping as soldiers with their expensive little toy guns should wake the fuck up to the situation that is developing around them if they care so much about peace and love. Hope you see my point

      Nah, fuck that. People deserve to have fun and not be miserable all the time being there’s a war/famine/genocide going on. What exactly you’re doing on the internet while people are suffering? How dare you entertain yourself? And you hit nail in the head, it’s just whataboutism and jealousy. "If X is miserable, so should you be! "

      Back at the boycotting something you can’t afford/want is the easiest shit to do.
