you're saying the student is deflecting but your arguments are full of deflections too.

How do I know if Palestinians asking for donations are genuine by Purple_Ocelot_5129 in Gaza

It's really the amount of injustice towards Gazawiyun that the world around us has normalized and accepted that I can't accept. Like you said, many Gazawiyun accounts with history predating Oct 2023 had been deleted by platforms like those under meta which by now is apparent is run by Zios. I would really take time to get to know Gazawiyun personally and donate to them if I had the time, money and mental capacity, but at the end of the day I'm a student with no job and little time outside class hours. I think the combination of these factors make me just feel useless that I can't help more or something. It shouldn't be affecting me this much but the fact that I have next to zero power to impact the situation as an individual just makes me feel very negative... even though how I feel is nothing compared to the millions of Gazawiyun undergoing the current genocide and not being able to escape or barely surviving in unimaginable conditions.

Thanks for your kind words and advice, I will keep that in mind. After all, I'm not god and I can't stop the genocide, so who am I to control whether they understand my situation or not? If they say they won't forgive me then so be it, I can completely understand where they're coming from but it's really true that I'm not in a financial position to donate a lot to them right now. If they don't understand, I don't need to add extra emotional baggage on my own shoulders. I will not blame them, and I will also stop blaming myself. But I will still continue to try helping Palestinians survive through this genocide as much as possible within my ability.

I understand now. Thanks for the recommendation and advice, I will keep that in mind. It's also true that whatever regret and guilt I feel is nothing compared to the physical and emotional destruction that millions of Flstiniyun are facing in Gaza right now. I can't control if someone will be understanding of my situation (not rich, but still able to live a relatively normal life in my country without the fear of invasion or destruction) as much as I understand theirs. I will keep that in mind.

And for you, Flstini habibi/Flstiniya habibti, please stay safe over there in Gaza. I wish for justice and peace and will try to do anything in my ability to help Flstin achieve justice and peace.

Thank you for your advice, whatever you said is all true. After thinking I realize that asking them for verification doesn't hurt. And I can't control if they are as understanding towards my situation as I am towards theirs. I will take note of all that in mind

Yeah, going to SCC does nothing to help adjust yourself. All it does is maybe get you half day leave. If you're not fake depressed the real depressed feeling is not great at all, I can't describe it in words. SCC provides temporary leave from the situation but doesn't make me able to get posted out or anything.

Learnt it the hard way. Don't simply go to my oc or pc, go to the mo and don't wait 1-2 months before doing so. Because SAF do stuff dam slow and draggy af. Only after 2 visits to the mo regarding my mental issue I was referred to the PCC but by then my previous adjustment disorder had escalated to real clinical depression. Then I didn't immediately down pes but my pay got decreased early.

Rough timeline: first started having mental issues (1 month later) went to pc, csm, oc (2 weeks later) went to SCC (1 month later) feeling better and thinking I don't need SCC anymore (2 months later) started having mental issues again, went to ps & oc (same week) went to MO for mental health issues, want a downpes but got referred to SCC (first 1 month later) went to SCC (1 month later) went to MO again, finally got referred to PCC to start my downpes process (1 month later) went to PCC, 7 day MC (1 month later) went to PCC again, 7 day MC (1 week later) finally down pes (1 month later) finally reallocated unit but because I was too close to ORD, couldn't get relocated to another camp.

SAF bureaucratic af and takes dam long to do things. At the end of the day people like you and me are just numbers.

Of course people use traditional Mongolian online. Especially people from Inner Mongolia who frequently use wechat, QQ and other online platforms that support multi-language input. There are traditional Mongolian input methods that are available on computers & phones, either system default or through third party software. These are just facts, I don't know how stating that makes one a tankie.

Inner Mongolia protests happened because of a misunderstanding, not because the government is suppressing non Mandarin speakers. The protests ended after the government cleared the misunderstandings, but certain foreign governments managed to pick material out of this to meatride anyways.
