      so…what, then? roll over and “ohwellnothingicando” and call it a day?

      I never said that, but imo you shouldn’t feel bad for lack of action or inability to change things. You should do what you can, but if you need to look at some moths enjoying some lamps, that’s totally fair.

      Our struggles are like a marathon, not a 100 meter dash, you got to find joy when you can.

        i understand this sentiment, i really do. but people are being kidnapped, deported, MURDERED.

        i’m glad that the moths make you feel better.

        all it does for me is to reinforce the impulse that not only are we as a people just fucked, but also we as a people can’t be bothered to deal with the fact that we’re fucked

        again, i’m not telling anyone what to do. except: enjoy your moths

          People really be arguing in favor of bread and circuses without understanding it is the very thing that is keeping them from engaging in political action for change.
