Thanks Cowbee. I hope the same for you.

I have to hide the general news thread for this month because the news were unfortunately getting to me but overall, still kind of sad but pushing through.

It’s only slightly easier to avoid it where I’m from because my family cares only whether if our home country is participating so I won’t be hearing too much about the World Cup beyond my dad’s occasional curiosity.

But yeah, don’t care to watch it live or anything. Can’t really say I’m boycotting it when I haven’t been interested in it in the first place.

I share your sentiments. My thoughts has been harming me with alot of doomerism over whether we will see the fall of the genocidal state and the liberation of Palestine within our lifetime. Reading any Isreal news that has just been nothing but “they continue to commit atrocities with little repercussions”. In the positives, Hezbollah continues to be a successful thorn and should be commemorated but they too will likely have limits and it’s hard to tell if it will swing back to Isreal’s favor simply because they are funded by the most shameless, disgusting, but still wealthy and powerful U.S. empire.

However, I do think it’s helpful to take a step back and ruminate about how we can take those feelings into something that can produce productive results. By all means, do take a break, go sleep, or even distract yourself for just a few minutes to get your thoughts in order.

It’s fine to be sad and angry, you should be. We are helpless depending on where we are but the fall of Isreal will not come in a day. Engaging in wantless doomerism and adventurism will only entrench the genocidal state.

I am the same. It took me quite a bit to become more communist. I was liberal -> to anarchist for most of my youthish life.

man…

Yeah, I am in the same boat. Even most of my online friends tend to just be lib with anarchist vibes, it’s becoming a little isolating to just keep my mouth shut.

Most of the explicit communists or socialists group in my country have already been killed and chased away. Either suppressed to a degree that finding one is an impossible roulette.
