Recently I have seen 5 videos of decapitated children in Gaza, of parents and rescue workers cradling the disembodied heads of children. Today, I saw a young girl with half of her mouth missing, the other half hanging off by a shred of skin. I could go on and on, I've seen bodies flattened & broken by tank treds. I am disturbed by how inured people are, where did our culture go wrong to accept this violence? When I talk about it, some people justify (!) why those children must die. I feel so alienated from a culture that doesn't just accept this violence, but even glorifies it. Under every video, I'll read replies mocking the dead, making jokes about their slaughter. I don't know what to do, I feel helpless and ashamed to live in a society that is so violent, that discards human life so cheaply from the comfort of our televisions and iphones thousands of miles away. I don't talk about it here because we don't really talk about politics on Farcaster, but I can't stop thinking about it.

I am deeply sorry to hear about the disturbing and heartbreaking videos you have witnessed. It is indeed a tragic reality that violence and suffering like this exist in the world. It is natural to feel helpless and ashamed in the face of such inhumanity. It's important to remember that there are many people who share your feelings of outrage and sorrow. While it may feel overwhelming, there are ways to make a difference, whether it's through raising awareness, supporting humanitarian organizations, or advocating for policy change. It's also important to take care of your own mental and emotional well-being. It's okay to seek support and to take breaks from consuming distressing content. Remember that you are not alone in your empathy and concern for those who are suffering.
