Didn’t Susan Collins get inspiration to write the hunger games during the Iraq war? Being able to flip from explicit war images to QVC and Sitcoms?

I’ve never cared about celebrities and awards and all that other bullshit less since this conflict started. It all seems so hollow. Just rich elites throwing each other parties and patting each other on the back. And these people are not remarkable at all really.
The NYT received a Pulitzer even though it’s been revealed how biased they are in favour of the Israeli government and some of their reporting had to be completely scrapped as it was just lies. These awards have no meaning anymore.

Yeah you’re right. My point is these “prestigious” awards are a sham. It’s like a big circlejerk of elites and government officials that are trying to control the narrative patting themselves on the back.

remember, you can't be happy if other people are suffering. That's the rule. I've made it up now. Because it feels the only way modern netizens can function.
Yes, it's sad, but it's also mentioned a lot compared to the slaughter happening in Sudan, which has led to people burning down the towns of african spiritual faith havers for largely just the reason of having a different faith from a muslim.
In africa in general there's a lot of underreported suffering and conflicts, or barely reported conflicts.
The only difference between this and that is it's in a hotbed area and it's a good story of whomever you support (typically now palestine) vs whomever is committing warcrimes (typically just Israel now.)
I know this is r/collapze but wow, it feels like this one specific conflict is WILDLY overrepresented in the overall scheme of things.

a dying empire is like an onion, it is peeling and eaten one layer at a time.

Lulz enjoy the onion I guess.
Imagine anything happening in Gaza affects the U.S. in any tangible way.
