So... a nation and a religion that was defined by its thousand-year exile by an evil empire forces another nation into a thousand-year exile as the acting hand of another evil empire.
Please understand that this is, on every conceivable level, insanely fucked up and flies in the face of both reason and morality.
The best solution would be to have an integrated, secular government and plans for reparation, return, and reconciliation.

God, the number of times I've painted things in Orange and Purple instead of Red and Blue and seen people ardently support the Orange argument, only to shut down in a brainwashed BSOD as soon as I replace the name tag...

Sad to be in the US, too. Honestly, this feels too relatable. The system is rigged against us, and people who were in power before we were even born pulled up the ladder behind them.

Ditto this. This isn't the hard-hitting smear they think it is, it's a cry for help. They're suffering the same symptoms of a collapsing society that we are. That's not demeaning, it makes me sympathize with these kids even more.

Ah, yes, the rhetoric 'grind culture' disguising working three jobs just to eat and sleep in conditions that are semi-humane. But being scolded and scorned for never being able to buy a house because we like avocado toast. Working so hard, but never working enough in the same breath.
It was never about the fucking toast. 'Goblin mode' and 'adulting' and 'gamer shut-in' and 'NEET' was never about being lazy. It was always about painting out the propaganda to guilt us into not meeting the model of expectation instead of our elders accepting blame. Maybe, hear me out, they should open their eyes and see that we're living in a level of poverty so hilariously deep that not even our kids--Gen Z and Gen Alpha--will be able to dig it out.
They're not giving up because they're lazy. They're opting out of a system designed to fail.

Friend, fuckin' same. It seems like all the propaganda hit pieces do is make them feel more relatable, damn.

Exactly. White person living on the other side of the god damn planet here, and I cheered when I heard what she did. She's amazing. If all politicians had her moral fiber and backbone, we'd have world peace.
