Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So, how’s it going?
Its a quick break from work to read the chaos. I think I’m relatively up to date. But the recent Israel Gaza thing has left me thinking I should distance myself. I follow a leftist / te pati Instagram channel that has since proven to be completely biased and dishonest. It enrages me when I’m seeing blatent disregard for evidence and the Palestinian people in favour of pushing their anti Israel narrative, and everyone getting on the emotional high for the ride.
Its not even worth fighting for truth, because I’m just one rational person arguing with people filled with irrational hate. I think its bad for my mental and emotional health.
I think I’m going to pay less attention and just focus on things I enjoy instead.
Everyone involved in that conflict seems to be utterly terrible, it seems.
Exactly, it’s two evil sides fighting each other with the civilians (mostly Palestinian) getting fucked over by both sides. But people have to choose a side to cheer for.
