You didn’t do anything “to” them. You were as blindsided as they were. But I know well that grief-stricken feeling in this situation. Be kind to yourself and try not to persecute yourself so much. 🙏

It’s confusing the first few times this happens because as you pointed out, the different types of love seem similar, and it seems as though they change from one to the other.
I know exactly how you feel, from the confusion to the self-directed blame. Please, don’t. You don’t deserve it. Society doesn’t prepare us well for these nuances and you describe it well.
The Greeks have seven words for love for a reason.
I consider the colonial parts of AUS & NZ to be just as much “the West”. We’re all the same monoculture anglosphere besides minor surface differences.
It makes sense that the bias in English speaking societies would be reflected on English speaking platforms. The posts here reflect the white western perspective. I would love to see more diversity as it does seem culturally “flat” here.
Isn’t xylitol gum recommended though? Maybe I’m using the wrong term.
genocidal gravy train
This is a great summary of what’s going on

The Palestine thing unravelled my image of that man completely. I don’t have a vote or anything but he does claim to be “Irish” which grates on us no end over here, where most people are anti-genocide.
I don’t think I understand either :) If capitalism is decaying, how will it continue to work as intended for capitalists?
Oh, I completely agree. Just curious whether people see this a capitalism ‘decaying’ vs ‘working as intended’.
Is it decaying or is it in full bloom? I assumed that rampant inequality was an acceptable feature of capitalism.
I had no idea. That is great to hear.
No, just more lies from Biden. Like his red lines, and like when he said he saw the photos of babies from Oct 7th.
Am I right in thinking that Germany was isolated and had little choice but to admit culpability? Israel has other imperial states backing it to the hilt so I fear the situations aren’t comparable.
It was a peaceful protest from what I can see in the video and in the article text. By assault, are you talking about the tiny cheap water pistols the two girls were squirting?
That’s what they would prefer and the point of their protests. Sarcasm doesn’t really fit here in this context.
If the government is sitting on its hands then you can’t blame them for doing something themselves. So I would blame the government for the protests and not the protesters. It’s their home, not a theme park.
They’ve done a good job of broadcasting that tourism is a problem there. I’ll respect that next time I make travel plans. Assuming others think like me, then the protest has been effective.
Hard to accuse the state of being a nanny when so many act like children. Being a child is fine, but not when driving a 2,000kg object at speed.
May these two vastly different peoples leave peacefully among each other.
