I've been thinking about a lot of stuff lately with the genocide going on and one thing that struck me is that when people talk about politicians that turn out to be corrupt, we're not surprised?
We all have this inherit belief that no one is actually on our side, and that the only way people in power would ever think of helping us would be if we were able to benefit in one way or another??!!
And this belief isn't the problem, the problem is that we're all so used to thinking this way that we never stop and feel horrified by it.
The boycott started and everyone is finding out that if you're boycotting a brand for supporting a genocide you're boycotting it for another morally dubious thing they did, and we're not horrified by all that!
I have been watching criminal minds recently and one thing I will tell you is that at a certain of point of binging, the dead bodies no longer horrified me, they no longer were a part of why the crime committed scared me, in other words I've been desensitised to the violence (obviously this is a very loose example cause if it's not the dead bodies that are scaring me, it's how they died that will make me sick)
The media we've all consumed at some point or another shows the government to be inheritly evil, which while it is a reality in a lot of cases, it's weird to think that this reality doesn't shock us anymore. we're so used to thinking that all politicians are corrupt but we're not surprised when they do something morally wrong, we voted for Biden because he was less evil that Trump. (I don't know if that still holds up anymore) Not becaus ewe thought he was good person.
We've all been conditioned into expecting the worst from our governments that we no longer feel the need to fight them when they do something atrocious unless it surpasses our suspension of disbelief (ik this is a term used in literature but I use it here to explain that we're willing not to question a lot of governmental decisions for the sake of maintaining the narrative that they still have our best interests at heart)
We know politicians are corrupt and we let them get away with it until we realise that their corruption extends to us too.
We know politicians are corrupt and we let then get away with it because we've always been taught that them being corrupt is a part of life.
We pray not for our politicians to not be corrupt but for their corruption to align with our best interests.
This thought horrifies me and it should horrify you too because either you realised that your best interest doesn't align with the direction of the corruption or that you're next.

“OMG! CHLOE TREATS HER FATHER SO TERRIBLY!” 😣
And I understand that!
However, Andre’s a grown adult man, not a freaking baby nor a little boy who needs his father’s approval anymore.
He’s the one who brought her into the world, enabled Chloe, spoiled her rotten, GAVE HER he privileges (the same ones Thomas claims she had), and set a bad example for her. HE put himself into the situation, so HE’S the one that has to deal with it. If you ask me, he needs to grow a spine and do his job as a father instead of expecting everyone to pity him for the bad mistakes that HE made lol 😂

We tried to warn people.
We got mocked, criticized, ostracized and called crazy conspiracy theorists.

Imagine spending a century trying to put an end to the suffering of a singular (powerful and connected to the entirety of the surrounding land tbf) fae child to rid the land of a curse, succeeding, and then being dragged to a place where literally hundreds of children are suffering and starving and dying and there's not even a pinpoint reason for it, people are just letting it happen, and then when you express that maybe that's actually kinda fucked up, being told: "Idk I think you're overreacting"
