Alright I get that… but that’s not a policy change… maybe seems pedantic but a policy change is a codified change in institutional behavior. That’s quite different from a warning or public signal

What policy change are you referring to? I didn’t see any mentioned in the article. Looks like business as usual despite the clear evidence of genocide aided by US weaponry

I’ve had similar concerns about myself. I’ve started therapy and found out that I’m suffering from toxic shame - something originating in childhood, developing as you age, and comprehensively modifying behavior in adulthood to include masking, dissociation, lack of emotional connection, inhumanly strong moral guidelines/standards, etc. I’d suggest at least looking up the concept of toxic shame. Also, give yourself some credit and some love; whatever the cause, it’s almost certain that your behavioral patterns were set by forces outside of your control and it sounds like you’ve managed it well

I love you

This thread is wild… is it seriously shocking to people here that Biden campaigners (plurality young people) are upset about his response to the genocide in Gaza?? Yes, obviously we need to vote for him, but it’s crazy that criticism is labeled as astroturfing or attempts to sabotage his chances.

Dumb title - not going to read article. Consumerism didn’t spontaneously generate. It’s an intended outcome. And the implication that “consumers” as a whole are responsible for inequality and climate catastrophe is disgusting.
