So roughly how many blocks/unfollows have yall done on Twitter/X TikTok, etc, lately? It’s been unbearable past week. I could at least handle Ukraine-flag-in-bio ppl because there are so many different kinds of people that are supporting them, and some are just normal misguided people who just hear the “X” country is being attacked narrative and just jump in vaguely in support. Plenty of funny pages and channels I see have shown support for Ukraine and its cringe but I get why. They don’t hear anything about the Euromaidan, or what the Alley of Angels means to the people of Donbass. The media NEVER covers that. To openly support Israel after the decades of hatred and violence on Palestine is unmistakably genocidal. The News was not silent when Jenin Refugee Camp was attacked. The news talked about Shireen Abu Akleh and what happened at her funeral. And that’s just recent events for those with no attention span (or not old enough) to remember the other awful events in Palestinian history that Israel resided over, most infamously being the Nakba and redrawing of maps to overwhelmingly benefit Israel at the behest of Palestine. If people wanna openly ignore that and jump out of the woodwork when Palestine defends itself, I disregard their concerns completely and I block/unfollow them depending on how egregious their posts are
I unfollowed a lot of actors and actresses in the past week and I’m at a point to end a few friendships probably because of their stance.
In a way it’s good to clean out genocidal fucks from my circle.
Yea, when the mask starts to slip on some people it reveals an ugly side of them that makes me not want to know them in the first place.
