you addressed so many points, but I think you may be tired of me. I understand you better now, but still disagree with you. In 1st paragraph you claim to be helpless against your gov actions which is 90% true, but the remaining 10% is more powerful than you think, your consumerism and how you spend your money, your vote, your communication to your repreentative senetor, your voice and condemnation matter so so matter and the whole world is watching. I'm 900% sure of thay (too many current examples and historic events all involve protests and the opinions of public).

2nd you forget that the elites are sleeping on yachets above you while you're busy trying to keep your head above water. they use your money, and your vote and legitmacy. and yes it affects you. the US has 2+ trillions budget for military but no healthcare speak for where your money goes while your keep head above water. They in fact rely on ignorants like you to keep this going.

3rd why the US life is good so why care not my fault: Again, I replied to all that in my previous comment. You dont even know why the US is rich and what nations are hurt by by their military involvements and relations.

4th paragraph "I dont enjoy hurting people but also dont care when I see them hurt." is the selfish disgusting response I replied to in my first comment. you're so weak you can even let your brain imagine being in their shoes and just ignorantly enjoying yours.

5th why Hamas did Oct-7? Google 1948 nakbah, and keep going from there until present day. And to understand Oct-7 by itself, Google Nat Turner slave revolt.

6th Iran kill their protestors. how tf can I stand a regieme that do that? I would also support china for their tian sequare and oppression, and support middle east dictatorships, and Israel as well with that logic

"I dont enjoy hurting people but also dont care when I see them hurt."

Again -- Not what I said. Re-read it. Stop putting words in my mouth.

You clearly suffer from pathological altruism.

You also are suffering from the dunning-kruger effect when it comes to the belief on how much effect you have on things by shouting words on the internet.

Bro, that is what you fucking said word for word:

"I find no enjoyment in hurting other people - which is why it doesn't bother me; Because I'm not doing it!"

Which is the fucking same as "I don't enjoy hurting people but also don't care when I see them hurt"

Did you read what you said? It's so bad I expose how awful and diagusting it is by just repeating it to you. You're so oblivious to the hypocracy of what you stand for. Go ahead, read it again and live with it.

But I'm not seeing them hurt! Neither are you! You're seeing news reports and things that are spun to make you feel bad. You aren't over there right now witnessing it with your very eyes.

I bet you've never even witnessed real combat death or even so much as a violent car collision.

So again - stop, fucking, putting, words, into, my, mouth.

I find no enjoyment in hurting other people - which is why it doesn't bother me; Because I'm not doing it!

Is not the same as

I don't enjoy hurting people but also don't care when I see them hurt

It's simply not. You're adding the seeing part to the equation. Learn to read. Learn to understand.

I don't fucking watch TV. I don't ingest tiktok, or facebook, or fox, or cnn, or msnbc, or instagram, or much social media at all. I don't see it. I don't care about it. It doesn't show in my feeds. It doesn't affect my life.

And you know what? The same goes for you. There's a million atrocities going on in the world right now; you're ignorant to 99.9999% of them. And you don't want to know about them. Because you'd be so overloaded your head would spin.

The difference between me and you, is that I know that I don't know about them, and I prefer it that way. I don't need to fight for every single cause that passes in front of me.
