Recently I have seen 5 videos of decapitated children in Gaza, of parents and rescue workers cradling the disembodied heads of children.
Today, I saw a young girl with half of her mouth missing, the other half hanging off by a shred of skin. I could go on and on, I've seen bodies flattened & broken by tank treds.
I am disturbed by how inured people are, where did our culture go wrong to accept this violence? When I talk about it, some people justify (!) why those children must die. I feel so alienated from a culture that doesn't just accept this violence, but even glorifies it. Under every video, I'll read replies mocking the dead, making jokes about their slaughter.
I don't know what to do, I feel helpless and ashamed to live in a society that is so violent, that discards human life so cheaply from the comfort of our televisions and iphones thousands of miles away.
I don't talk about it here because we don't really talk about politics on Farcaster, but I can't stop thinking about it. 16 replies
