“The UK government wants technology companies to block explicit images on phones and computers by default to protect children, with adults having to verify their age to create and access such content,” the FT report said. “Ministers want the likes of Apple and Google to incorporate nudity-detection algorithms into their device operating systems to prevent users taking photos or sharing images of genitalia unless they are verified as adults.”

Look I'm just fed up with dealing with the slow burning of everything around me all because about a dozen people want extra zeros on their net worth and are tempting politicians to implement draconian laws with comparitivly miniscule bribes and I am obligated to spend 1/3 of my life and 2/3rds of my income satiating the desires of these bastards.

Fuck em. I'm done. I want peace, permanent peace.

    Every person against this sort of thing that checks out is just giving them less resistance. It sucks to have to deal with it, and it’s a constant fight, but you’re not just fighting for yourself.

    I'm sick of trying to educate people to see the bleeding obvious robbery of our lives when they'd rather blame their neighbours just because they have a different skin tone and it's less effort mentally than trying to understand the situation with all the neuances. I'm sick of fighting and struggling for a better life for them as well because they don't even want it. What's the point of putting in the effort when these ignorant fools don't even help and actively work against their own interests?

    I'm mentally and physically exhausted, and I just want to sleep forevermore.

    That’s when you take a break and let someone else deal with it until you’re ready again. Or focus on a different fight and let that one go. You're irreplaceable, but your participation in that specific fight is not essential.

    I hope you can find a break. I get tired of it, too. Sometimes just not reading the news or social media for a while is enough to recharge. The news and online commentary makes it impossible to even get small breaks that would’ve been common two decades ago and the consumption of it all can be exhausting enough to prevent us from taking any other actions.

    I fear it won't be long before people decide to an hero in a spectacular way against their local fascist strongholds for the same reasons you outline.

    At some point, people are going to have nothing to lose and the desire to send a message to those in power.
