His original post , titled I can't sleep, is some brilliant writing. When we talk about the chilling effect that criticism of Israel creates in industries everywhere (including ours) this is what that looks like.

Yeah because standing up against genocide is such a political social justice hero thing to do.

Think before you speak next time.

This random guy "stood up" by writing a passionate blog post. I'm sure that's going to solve everything.

If he really truly believes what he believes and wants to do something meaningful, then he should go there and fight for them personally.

Because in contemporary times everything is only solved with a weapon in hands by killing others /s

It’s a hell of a lot more significant than an angsty blog post

And it's okay to talk about people killing other, "it's the news", but the moment someone says that maybe the killings should stop, you are all of a sudden "problematic in the workplace/at the dinner table" "with extreme ideas" and "why is everything political to you?".

And you know that in this economy productivity it's more valuable than LIFE. It's not like covid didn't also teach us that.
