13. One thing I have understood about this conflict
Sun Aug 31, 2025, 04:10 AM
Sunday

After thinking about why I avoid any but minimal comments on it is I go by reason/intellect and feeling and I don’t think you can understand it deeply when you are not Israeli or Palestinian.
So I do what little token support I can sincerely but insincerity is not something I use with anything serious. I have sympathy for all the humans who are miserable and wish this war would end.

I already have a consuming cause that is deep for me - ending factory farming and protecting the environment and as much as a portion of my care goes towards human causes, these are already neglected issues and now we normalize barbaric Ventilation Shutdown and while this conflict is emerging as another very alarming ongoing nightmare, I must stick with my main cause as it all goes in the end towards the same goal any decent human could have.
