Something that i find prettyd disgusting these days is how certain people put their political ideologies / viewpoints over human lives, for example, celebrating the russian invasion of ukraine because it is "a blow against US / NATO imperialism" completely ignoring all the warcrimes, the deaths, and the suffering generated by that war, the same happening with the palestinian genocide because "Israel is the only working democracy on the middle east", acting like their ideoligies are going to bring back to life all the dead people somehow

Is this "General", or "General in the US"? I'm not saying it cannot be the latter, but if it is. I'm out. Best mentalt health choice I've done is reduce exposure to American "problems".

It is meant to be General in a global/world sense, not strictly US. It simply happens that many of the people posting seem to be from the US, going off their post topics.

I'd encourage people from anywhere to post here if they'd like, as that would help mitigate the US-centric vibes.
