I’m worried for the world. All I’ve been thinking about is WW3 and this shit makes me want to vomit. I can’t even smoke weed anymore without having a near panic attack. I feel unmotivated. I wake up and immediately just want to go back to bed. I’m not trying to spread fear but the Doomsday clock is 90 seconds till midnight, during the Cuban missile crisis, it was 7 minutes before midnight. Can we just have one day of fucking peace? Can everyone just stop for one day and enjoy one day of peace?

    Not paying taxes isn’t an option. OP’s point is that the average person can’t affect any of that change, and this is one of those situations. Also, why would I or any other citizen feel responsible that the government used tax dollars for bad things? I don’t like that my taxes are used for something I don’t think is good, but the reality is I don’t have any control over that, and if the timelines were different and someone else were in power making decisions, odds are that it would be worse than it is, assuming we’re referring to the US and Israel/Palestine. Anyone that’s paid any attention to politics forever knows that one person could scream until they’re blue in the face about where their tax money is going, but it won’t change anything.
