When people say to stop being political on here, it’s not necessarily that they don’t think politics is important and should never be discussed, it’s that you should turn “off” once and a while and talk about literally anything else. Even Anne Frank wrote about other stuff in her diary sometimes, and her life was under threat by actual Nazis so I don’t buy the “Everything’s on fire so we should never shut up ever” argument. I’m not even asking you to change your mind, just to change the subject once in a while.

Yes but today it is Palestinians, tomorrow it is us. There is no correct amount to think about or talk about a genocide while it is unfolding, it is relevant to every single one of us in every single moment.

I agree with you on this. There’s a time and place for it
