    she moved to occupied land during an active war becoming a participant in the occupation. She does not show any empathy towards the people whose land she is occupying, yet you’re asking us to have empathy for her because her occupation is not going as planned?

      Nope. Read Geneva convention once again

      She does not show any empathy towards the people

      Empathy is never earned

        “The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies.”

        Only thing I could find that’s relevant, but doesn’t apply since she moved there on her own accord. Mind helping me find the section you are thinking of?

        Why not?

          Because that requires acknowledging the value and struggles of people outside yourself, and self-reflection sometimes makes people saaaad 😢
