My big brain moment was when I realized that my interest in studying the conflict itself was the result of propaganda.

Haha. A positive side-effect. Do you have any good sources for people like me that care but have their energy spent elsewhere? I'm exhausted on climate, domestic racism, and equal opportunity. It doesn't mean I don't care about everything else, I just literally don't have capacity to cover it all, and that's what propaganda and bias agenda preys on.

Especially online, opinion is readily available. Information is becoming rarer.

You are one person and you can do only so much. If you aren't directly affected by the war and you aren't able to meaningfully change anything then why waste the energy?

If you really want to help people and make a difference, start with your local community. So many people tune in to listen to Ukrainian generals but they wont ever attend the council meetings in their own town.

I have personally seen cases where the whole town was saved all because one person was paying attention. You really do make a difference on that scale.

Thanks. That's genuinely refreshing to hear and motivating :)
