    Generally speaking, be upset when super shitty things happen to people regardless of nationality.

      I’ve been upset since the moment I saw the people in Yemen starve. They’re not in a good position but I can’t do shit so worrying about it only hurts me.

      no, you are supposed to see the bad guys as lower than animals, the reason i don’t shed as many tears for the Russians is that those on the front have a chance to flee and surrender, and many people do take it

        Or, we could just not see any person as lower than animals, and it’ll lead to way less bloodshed than anyone having to flee and surrender would.

          surrendering literally leads to less bloodshed, but many Russian soldiers are of the opinion that Russia uber alles

      The people who claim Lemmy users aren’t assholes like Reddit users are the ones downvoting this comment.

      Eta. When I made this comment the one above was at -5 and that’s confusing to me.

        Be upset. Always. It’s what good people do!Never allow yourself to be happy because you have peace, for there are others who have no such opportunity for peace. People are always suffering, so why choose to be a discompassionate monster by just being okay with what is going on in your own life, when you could scroll past images of other people’s misery and do the virtuous thing of getting upset.
