Why do I feel a lot of peer pressure to be pro Palestine or even care about it?

[Anonymous]

On the East Coast of the US most people are pro Palestine my age and there is this peer pressure I hate it and I don’t care about Palestine.

I doubt Palestine cares about dumbasses like you either. But I bet your lazy ass will be the first to scream when you start getting treated like the Palestinians.

The whole idea is not about just "care". It's about showing you don't agree with something like that being down to them, or you.

I don’t want to be in that situation of course not a war zone but why would you expect me to have empathy?

[Asker]

I don’t think that would ever happen I don’t live in fear my friend just want to get shit done and enjoy life without hearing too many complaints especially about a foreign conflict.

This is not a grassroots movement. And neither was BLM or Antifa.

[Asker]

I never said it was and I don’t care about politics. I don’t care if Gaza gets taken out forever.

You missed my point, but that's quite common on this site.

I live in the most progressive place in America. This issue is different here. I hope they take out daycares in Gaza I’m tired of it.

[Asker]

Like that’s what I typically say I hope the IDF takes out all the schools, all the hospitals, all the refugee camps, fuck em tired of it.

[Opinion Owner]

My point was that no one cares.

[Asker]

Oh people care here that’s my point. I live in a very left place not like south. I hear about it all day.

[Asker]

Like just going out you see protesting always it’s that’s bad here.

[Asker]

I said to one of em I hope the IDF takes out the school in Gaza and got a bad response.

[Opinion Owner]

I explained that. They're either getting paid to protest, or they're brainwashed to protest.
