      What is this supposed to mean? Is the implication that for the past ten thousand years, everyone should have lived in constant misery, thinking of nothing but the suffering of innocents, without a moment to spare for joy or silliness?

      Or are you trying to twist their words to suggest that the suffering of innocents now isn’t important because it’s been happening for 10k years? Because that was clearly not the message being made. The closest I could imagine is they may be pointing out that some treat pointing out innocents suffering as a fad, where people all of a sudden care and can’t believe that anyone else can do or care about anything else (and will burn out and stop caring once the fad is done, whether the issue has been resolved or not).

      Either way, if you spend your whole time doomscrolling and never leave yourself a space for moth memes (or whatever), you will be no help to anyone and live in impotent misery.

      Basically, moth memes are self care.

        I am not saying the moth memes do not have their place. I am saying that having innocents dying for 10 thousand years does not mean it’s acceptable to allow it just because of the length of time that it has been happening.

          I don’t know what part of the world you live in. But in my corner, we investigate murder, find the responsible and prosecute them.

          That’s pretty much the opposite of allowing murder.

            While at the same time allowing people to be systemically murdered through lack of access to necessities because someone wasn’t able to make a profit off of them.

            Or are you trying to say those deaths are justified just because the state doesn’t label it as “murder”?

              Again. I don’t know where you are from. But here. We don’t let people starve or freeze to death because they cannot afford basic necessities.

              It just doesn’t happen. I don’t have to say they’re unjustified or justified. I can say. They don’t happen in the first place.

          Wether it’s acceptable or not is irrelevant to scrolling through social media or the existence of memes, moth or otherwise. Seeing some memes after years of people endlessly posting about the various conflicts, (because you are tripping hard of you think no one has been talking about the genocide on this website…) doesn’t imply anyone thinks its “acceptable” to allow it (or is allowing it?).

              Who’s allowing it because of the time waiting? Are they in the room with us? >.>

                I’m saying 10,000 year or two mins doesn’t make the act any different. Which was in my original response.

          My point was you reading news articles won’t change anything. So why read them?

          Are you going to do anything but wallow in depression? Just doomscrolling all day?
