    2 years ago demanding Palestinians to have equal rights was considered demanding genocide. I was practically alone in being pro-Palestinian, in my region, before 2022, now hundreds of thousands march for palestine each day.

      Can I ask what country your from?

      When I went out to Seattle to protest this weekend we were a bit bigger than the last time. It’s still a almost depressing number of people for a supposedly “leftist” city. But I look at Italy and the numbers in the global south and try to remember I’m not alone. I’m just far away. The vast majority of the world stands with Palestine. It’s just been so disheartening to live in the brain rot of the imperial core. My normie friends tell me “like, no one even hears or talks about this stuff”.

      I just have to remind myself that I am the sane one in a truly sick society. The numbers of the world are massively on my side. Even if I can’t speak their language or give them a hug.
