Are people imploding psychologically?

There's always been shit going on, always been conspiracies and oligarchs and corporate giants up to no good.

But the last 5 years has been so intense since they pulled the covid shit, and then they've piled on the wars, the drip-drip-drip of slow but steady economic ruin, the price gouging, the authoritarianism, the rude-as-fuck gaze of the surveillance state and surveillance capitalism, the erosion of free speech and civil liberties, the punishing of dissent, the polarising media narratives and civil war boogaloo baiting, the constant fucking talk about "the next pandemic", the interfering with nature in very dangerous ways while rubbing in our faces that there's nothing we can do about their gain-of-function science projects, or their self-replicating "vaccines" or the poisons they seed into the air, the water and the food we eat.

I can't even look at the news of what's happening in Gaza anymore. The genocide is actually in its advanced stages now. Even if it stopped tomorrow the scale of the atrocity will not wash away in generations.

Remember when people used to talk about the companies or banks or individuals who did business with the Nazis? How that is considered a moral taint over 80 years later? The people who came after have always thought we wouldn't be the ones who colluded or collaborated or even just sat back and let it happen.

But now we are doing just that - sitting back and letting it happen - and I really don't know what else we can do. I understand that lots of people have spoken out against it or joined in marches and protests or written letters to politicians. I understand that there's not a lot else that people can do. I'm not blaming us for having failed to stop it because I don't know how we could have stopped it.

I also know that a lot of people strongly disagree with this point of view on what is happening. Some people still say it's not a genocide. But anyway, it is a genocide.

Remember when we used to watch television series with titles like "The Nazis: A Warning from History"?

Ok, so we heard the warning and a genocide still managed to happen, and is still happening right now, and it's at an advanced stage. There are children dying of cold and hunger, there are no hospitals left, there is bombing supported by our governments with funding and weapons which are paid for by our taxes. And even if you are one of the people who denies that that's what is happening, it is what is happening and I think deep down most of us know it.

This fact is making people very sick. Humanity is resonating at a level, consciously, sub-consciously, that is sick and guilty and tired, hopeless and helpless.

I apologise for this negativity. I feel like I'm just stating what is happening and what you all already know. What is happening to the Palestinians is unspeakably terrible for them, and it is also very bad for Israelis, for Americans, for British people and other people whose governments have varying degrees of responsibility. Regardless of your own position on what they are doing,, it is sick-making and it is anti-human.

Once again, sorry for the negativity. But there are posts on here every few days, people asking does anyone else feel weird? Has time speeded up? Is everyone sick all the time? Is it just me or are people just not right somehow? Wtf is happening anymore? I see a lot of posts like that and this is just my tuppence worth on it. No wonder a lot of people are feeling fucked up. We are right now living through a period that if humans make it out the other side of it is going to be remembered as a bad time when bad things happened. You're not mentally ill. You're a human being living through history.
