They are not mutually exclusive, you can face it, then realize there isn’t much you can do (I’m not American) then you see some moths.
what gave you that idea? perhaps the fact that no one's doing anything but posting moths?
enjoy your moths
The current state of western democracy?
In my personal opinion, one of the most effective things you can do is collective bargaining. And on that note, imo not enough people have been convinced that somethings got to change. You have to have that consensus before real change.
yea. that ship has sailed.
https://lemmy.zip/comment/19854683 yea. i know
so...what, then? roll over and "ohwellnothingicando" and call it a day?
I never said that, but imo you shouldn’t feel bad for lack of action or inability to change things. You should do what you can, but if you need to look at some moths enjoying some lamps, that’s totally fair.
Our struggles are like a marathon, not a 100 meter dash, you got to find joy when you can.
i understand this sentiment, i really do. but people are being kidnapped, deported, MURDERED.
i'm glad that the moths make you feel better.
all it does for me is to reinforce the impulse that not only are we as a people just fucked, but also we as a people can't be bothered to deal with the fact that we're fucked
again, i'm not telling anyone what to do. except: enjoy your moths
