  • I dislike you have been down voted. We are allowed to protest here, and as long as you’re not a Nazi, I have no issue with it.

    I also don’t understand what protesting in Melbourne is going to do for the Palestinians. Aus isn’t the big manufacturer of weapons being sent to Israel or Palestine. I’m not saying you should t go, I just don’t get what it is trying to achieve here.

    I get protesting in Britain, since they sort of set this up historically, but also wars and conflict over the holy land have been ongoing since, like, before Jesus. So. What does Australia have to do with this?

    I do think there are way more Australian-relevant issues to protest - such as the rise of Nazis, cost of living, price gouging, and housing affordability, and the rights of First Nations.

    I do not agree with either Hamas nor Netanyahu, I dont want innocent people to be used as collateral damage.

    But again, what will protesting the war do here, in Australia, in Melbourne?

    Not trying to start a fight, I just don’t understand the goals.




  • Of course it is, because no one ever really wants to be close to someone struggling with their own mind. They prefer performative care, so they can receive sympathy, but do not actually care about the person truly struggling.

    The mentally unwell are chronically alone and lonely, I can attest, with few real, genuine human connections, because they are just there to make others feel good about themselves. Even their death is capitalised upon for further sympathy and attention.

    I wonder why I have so few genuine, caring friends, but why wonder when the answer is they don’t actually care. They just like others telling them how kind and selfless they are. It’s disgusting that the mentally unwell are only “cared for and about” when they’re fucking dead and it doesn’t mean anything to them.

    personal experience

    My own family, the side I still see, doesn’t call or text me despite knowing what I go through, and have suffered through. They never called to check in when I lived through my egg doners severe neglect, just made excuses. They didn’t check in when I ended up isolated and raped daily by my ex for 8yrs. But they are quick to say “if you need anything, let us know!”. Well I said call me occasionally, just a msg to see how I’m going, and they cannot even do that, so I may as well rot away and they can all have their performative sadness and attention when I pass away. My own dad doesn’t even call, even when I initiate contact. So yeah, fuck anyone who pretends they cared, just to take their fill of the attention they obviously so desperately crave.















  • I am the great cornholio! I need tp for my bunghole.

    And it isn’t just you, people are just that much more inconsiderate. I blame lockdowns, but also the general state of the world right now - wars, rescinding rights, needless death, no ability to buy a house, pollies are landlords and two faced scum, far right bullshit, climate change… I can understand people reacting with general disrespect when it doesn’t feel like this world will last, and we suffer.

    But I also believe in times like these, we have MORE of a duty to be kind to one other, to show compassion and grace. And that is severely lacking within the general population. Their attitudes compound upon the state of the world and just hurt us even more than we already are.
