A genocide going on. International bureaucrats are, at best, unable to stop Israel and are, at worst, facilitating (State Dept). 10y from now the next generation will ask "...so, what did you do to help stop it?" If you have a conscience, you will feel shame. Shame.

The way to survive in modern society is to be an ascetic, it is to retreat from society. There’s too much society everywhere you go. You have society in your phone, pocket, ears… It’s socializing you and programming everyone. The only solution is to turn it off.” - @naval
