i dont trust (and i dont want chaos im sorry im boring)
honestly idk about refederation with these people. im sure there are nice people there but if some of them are just going to keep complaining about ppb and russia and acting in bad faith then id rather pass
why did they add hexbear to the blocklist in the first place, i need the lore
have you tried a libreddit instance?
i hope everyones having a brat summer :)
when i started paying attention to politics, it was because i was an election nerd, so i supported the liberal democrats for their support for proportional representation
then covid leftpilled me. we need another global pandemic
why the fuck does it take up to 3 years to get diagnosed with adhd in the uk, istfg i hate this country so much
i am finally making the decision to remove a toxic interest from my life. i've watched eurovision since i was 13 and i don't think my interest in the contest has ever been as intense as it was this year. i was basically lying to myself for months trying to convince myself that it's fine that i'm following eurovision so closely because i'm ignoring israel and supporting pro-palestine artists
i guess the israeli delegation harassing everyone got me to take my head out of my arse and i boycotted the grand final. it's just sad i suppose. those artists aren't bad people but in the end they either did nothing or did some performative activism that didn't result in anything, and even though israel didn't win, they still managed to get enough attention and controversy on their performance that everyone ignored their assault on rafah. i even saw people on twitter talking about how this is a great victory but that they'll still fight against israel's inclusion, as if this year wasn't the best opportunity to get rid of them and it was squandered
ultimately the only way to remove israel was to boycott eurovision and deal a financial blow to the broadcasters who enabled the european broadcasting union to keep israel in. but instead there were campaigns on twitter to "vote tactically against israel" by voting for croatia, switzerland, or ireland. im just disappointed in everyone i suppose. plus i feel like all of those eurofans who constantly talked about how important it was to ban israel and then went to the contest anyway just to boo israel when it was barely picked up on the stream anyway are hypocritical. there were countless other pro-palestinian events in malmo that were barely reported on even in eurovision fan circles
idk what to feel anymore about eurovision tbh, but im not going to follow it anymore
wouldn't be eurovision without me hating our own entry
