you know... I've forgotten that I've seen modern warfare gore stuff and we first worlders complain about some dumb shit. d'oh

like can't afford food? lol. just normal day elsewhere

not pretty but guess it works. idealic world they told us was fake, we're a bit corrupt, a little tortured and warped, monkeys throwing things at each other rudely... but it ain't bullets (yet?)

Yup. The things about which some people complain do perplex me, as well. As in there are real problems... && there are imaginary ones people create when they have too good, so they need to come up w/ things to bitch about.

You can only deal with so much and it's all relative. Once upon a time, less than 100 years ago, you may not have know about the war going on 5,000 miles away that wiped out a village, or the British creating a famine to wipe out the Irish.

You really can't concern yourself with the kid drowning in a lake in Romania. Your local group is literally the most important for any practical purpose. The network of propaganda has led you to think you should care about arbitrary people in random parts over the world than your own.

It's impractical which is why the Jesus story says, "give everything your own to the poor." It's the unachievable ideal. When you chase it, you tend to develop "luxury beliefs," ideas that sound great on paper but ultimately hurt those you think they will help .. like "defund the police" or "redistribute wealth" ... one which leaves everyone dead and the later which leaves everyone starving.

@djsumdog my local group wants to bully me until I run away, so

I'm not a lefty though or strive for morality. I grew up poor so I don't have luxury beliefs for the poor

think local act local > think global act local
