humanity

I was scrolling on twitter, too sad to sleep but too tired to do anything else and I kept seeing people saying stupid shit on my tl. French people, supposed leftists, fighting against leftist politicians. It's been this way for two weeks now. Well, for much longer but it's been worse since the president dissolved the general assembly. The left always fighting against the left while the far right rises steadily. It's so scary. And enraging. People are so cruel and vile and also stupid. I don't understand how we became all so selfish. Why do I keep seeing people saying that what's currently happening in France has not relation to the genocide in Palestine? Why do I keep seeing people saying they don't feel concerned about capitalism? People using the genocide in Congo or Sudan as a shield against people talking about what's happening in Palestine? It's all so vile. How come so many people from my generation don't see what's wrong with their way to think? They say they're with the left, they call to vote for the NFP but also keep fighting with anyone who they deem too stupid or lesser than them. 

Sure, politicians aren't perfect. Most of them are shitty people but at least some of them are fighting for us. I need to believe that. So we can keep on living in a somewhat free country with rights. But it won't happen if people keep on belittling and beating down our own party. For the first time in years, we finally see a real wave of support and community within the left. It hadn't happened in so long! How can you see that and still find stuff to nitpick? Why do you feel like you have the right to say stupid shit on the internet only to feel a little bit smarter than everyone else? Why do you insist on making an ass of yourself for likes? I'm so angry.

People have to start realizing that EVERYTHING is related to what's happening in Palestine, Congo, Sudan, Hawaii, Haiti, the Kanak people, the Uyghurs and the list goes on, unfortunately. We're living in a world where everything's wrong. We have the means to make it a little bit more right by voting and trying to place humans on the top instead of psychopaths and bastards with delusions of grandeur. And, sure, maybe it won't change much. But it won't hurt to try. He have to try. We can't be free until Palestine is free. Until Congo is free. Until Sudan is free. Why is it so hard to understand? Why do I see people saying "Palestine has no place in our politics, we have to think about ourselves first"? It makes me sick. Especially when they say that and then keep on bringing up Congo as a gotcha moment. When the person they're criticizing IS palestinian! Of course she's going to talk about the genocide of her people! 

Where has Humanity gone? 

We can't vote and think only about ourselves. We have to vote for others. For the less favored, the people with disabilities, the people whom rights are always being discussed when they shouldn't, the minorities and the ones we should protect instead of throwing under the bus. We have to vote for our future. As a Country in a World where everything is currently going so, so wrong. We have no right losing hope because the people suffering still have hope to see the freedom. We owe them as much as our hope. 

Maybe my words are bit awkward and barely understandable but I needed to get it off my chest. It's late and I'm tired and I acknowledge I'm far from being the most politicized person ever. But I just can't stay silent in moments like this. When it really matters. I'm trying, alright? And I'm just so mad about it. I don't understand how you can be so selfish and cruel. How you don't understand how wrong your nationalism feels. It was never about the French flag or your right to dress as you want. It was never about others' rights but only your little comfort in your little home drinking your little shitty overpriced coffee you don't even like that much. Everyone who gives in such selfish discourses online are such assholes and bastards and omg I'm so angry! 

I'll go to sleep now. I just hope tomorrow everyone votes for the NFP and we get to see a new wave of hope. It's either that or it'll be the start of something dark and inhumane and I can't bear it. I just need this hope to live a little longer, please. So we can keep on going and take it further for another day. For another cause. Because everything is connected and we won't be free until everyone else is. The way is still long so we have to hold tight.
