    Ask anyone who has lived through war: This is fine because it’s the closest you’ll get to peaceful activities.

    You don’t get to pick and choose your disasters and turn them off at will.

    Much more realistic than the original meme. The failures of society overall to be cohesive and care for everyone in society isn’t within the control of the powerless. What the powerless can do is control their own simple joys, that’s all.

    So treating yourself kindly in the face of evil you cannot control nor stop is fine.

      Exactly so!

      While I’ll definitely do what I can to try and influence the trajectory we’re on I’m just one person with very little power, and I’m not exactly optimistic about how things are going and figure that at some point something like this meme will be the best I can do
