My friends ignored me and began a whole new conversation when I brought up Minneapolis today. Am I right to be fucking pissed at that?? Like I genuinely thought they’d want to discuss it

Is it possible they’ve had an exhausting day and simple don’t have the energy

I genuinely don’t think that’s it. I’m worried they’re just apathetic about the state of the world. It’s something I’ve been suspecting more and more from them

I think it’s important to take a breath and think about why someone might become apathetic. We see horrible things happening every day, the world is getting worse and it seems like that’ll never change, many people think there’s nothing they can do about it without losing their sanity or even their life. Becoming apathetic isn’t entirely something I can’t understand

Now if this particular friend group I’m talking about weren’t all upper middle-class white people, I’d agree. Alas…

Yeah honestly I think a lot of people have become completely exhausted by the political climate right now and dont even want to think about it. I personally feel like everybody should be aware of whats going on but I understand why so many people are burying their heads in the sand and trying to ignore it. Its a crazy world out there
