It feels like wrong is right, and right is wrong (lemmy.world)

I just don’t know how to not ruminate about the fact that my country is running fucking death camps. There were ICE raids in neighborhoods in my city, neighborhoods that my students lived in (before they made it impossible to teach and be trans).

The government of my state is absolutely failing. I advocated for a child in foster care for a while - when I found messages between her and an adult man and tried to get anyone to do anything about it, they suggested that I might be sexually abusing her myself.

Everything is backwards. Skill and merit don’t matter anymore, while they pretend they’re getting rid of “DEI” - which in effective means they’d rather have an unqualified white guy than the most qualified POC or queer person.

I just don’t get it. Why is the world so fucking evil?

RULES:

I am looking for mods!

1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.
