@chimp_gaming. I feel like the issue with the donations thing is that America is already so awful rn we literally should not be spending so much money on other places. People here are actively suffering, you're sending money somewhere else not able to even know if it will actually help because even with all the money we've given things are still pretty bad. At least with using the money on the place you are actually in you know that it will be doing things. The US spends way too much taking care of others and it's neglected its own people for way too long, we're in so much national debt and all they do is just extend how much debt they can be in instead of actually trying to solve the issue. Also money Is being donated to basically everywhere from the US so they're supporting all sides most of the time, not just the one side they want the public to think they're supporting. I think cutting the funds a good amount and spending them on big problems in the US is way better. Because if the US falls apart then they won't be able to send anything at all.

@@thetruthseeker7962 What a snobby comment. Where was this empathy during the Tigray war? 200-600k dead in 2022, silence. If the current conflict were in two African or lesser-known Asian countries, you wouldn't even hear about it to give a shit. People don't care about this because they're empathetic, they care because its politicized and trendy. You and many others will only 'empathize' when a tragedy is conveniently shoved down your throat for months. Mantis and Dantes are at least consistent in their apathy, show their position some respect.
except there are very little charity organizations you can realistically trust that the money goes to the right place. i hardly know any charities that give a significant portion of the donation to where its supposed to go. from an euro that you donate that poor african family probably ends up getting 10 cents. also african families dont need money, they need a source of income, education and healthcare.
This. I can never understand how people have so much energy to care about all the things in the world. I mean I used to be hyper empathetic, to the point embarrasses me to look back on, but as the years went by, it all just becomes so emotionally exhausting.
@@mroffice8166 being remembered can also mean being remembered bad. Take michael jackson. A legend. But then theres also those pedo alligations that many believe. Honestly being known or not is both acceptable outcomes
Are you guys thinking through what you are saying? If everyone had the same ideology as you, would you think the outcome is positive? Hell no. Governments will be able to do whatever they want without a care in the world because the people wont pressure them into anything. This is exactly how they want you to think. You do have power. Especially in numbers. The argument “I cannot change anything” doesn’t work at all, because, sure, you ALONE cannot change anything, but if you get together with others, you will be able to make a change. Stop trying to convince yourself that no matter what you do nothing happens. If this was true, then the governments wouldnt need to use propaganda. Why do you think that exists?
Honestly I get this take, but as a Palestinian myself nobody can really fathom what it means for people to not care enough to do something, or the people who do "care" attacking random people in TikTok comment sections for drinking Starbucks. Honestly I just want peace of mind and I find many people in this comment section privileged that they can sleep at night knowing that their extended family is unlikely to get bombed or killed in another gruesome way. It's really hopeless and I pray that this never happens to anyone else like how it is happening right now, and that nobody else can know how it feels to know so much but have the ability to do so little, I pray that there will never be a time in history again where the world puts such little attention on the worst things.
@@ronmastrio2798 I’m confused as to what you aimed to tell me with this comment. Palestinians have never been violent, there has been much stigma over “Middle eastern terrorists” and it’s very much a stereotype. They opened their homes in the 1900s to victims of the Holocaust, just to later be kicked out of their homes by Jewish people. Please educate yourself, I mean really no harm but my “compatriots” are just trying to get by. Hope this helps!
@@thatlatinaarab Im sorry but both Palestinians and Israelis are violent. To live in that part of the region you had to fight. Many empires have conquered it. Dont deny that israel was invaded the first day it was founded. Islamic massacres took place before. Israelis feel the same way you do they are scared of hezbollah and iranian missile strikes. Lots of them want peace but governments and new polarization splits them far apart
Those last few lines about being willfully ignorant on matters you can't control really need to be heard by more people, especially the entirety of Twitter
Yes but since it is the way people feel then it is true, and so it's reasonable to add to that cycle by doing nothing. Is it selfish, yes, but you gotta live for yourself so if someone wants to ignore the suffering of others it's that person's right to do so. I know I do it
That's literally not true. People with an audience can help fundraisers. Theres someone on tiktok that pairs people up with fanilies trying to escape Rafah and all they have to do is make one short video about that family and what they're going through and leave a link for donations to help them. Even small creators are participating and making a couple thousand dollars to donate. If you have people watching and listening to you then you CAN do something. You choose to be complacent because it's convenient, not because you can't do anything. And i think you know that.
We also know that laziness in optimism gets us nowhere, and that in order to help others we must help ourselves first. Simply because there are numbers does not mean that the numbers will do all they can, and simply because we’re “America” does not mean we’re immune to nationwide problems like inflation.
@InsanityoftheSanities I'm one bad month away from being homeless but I can still donate a dollar here and there to the olive branch project. And I bet a couple thousand of Dantes' fans can also afford to spare one dollar.

right?? based my ass, everyone praising him is just outing themselves as having no empathy for those suffering. it aint that hard to just care a little bit, no one said to spiral over issues everyday. if dantes told people to donate and everyone donated a dollar millions could be donated, wtf does he mean there’s nothing that can be done, he’s literally rich rich and has a huge following
Or people would mind their own fucking business and not twist themselves in pretzels thinking they can solve problems that have existed long before they were alive and will remain long after they're dead.
@ronmastrio2798 or maybe if we didnt just mind our fucking business we could fix some problems. Loser mindset. Problems exist, no point trying to fix them.
In my opinion, for the people saying you could donate and whatever ARE right, but at the end of the day you might be helping a single person or a family, but you're not stopping the war.
of course i cant stop a war, but if i could help even just a single person or family, why wouldn’t i? every single individual matters, not just large numbers
reminder that germans said the same thing about the nazis in ww2. "First they came for the Communists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Communist Then they came for the Socialists And I did not speak out Because I was not a Socialist Then they came for the trade unionists And I did not speak out Because I was not a trade unionist Then they came for the Jews And I did not speak out Because I was not a Jew Then they came for me And there was no one left To speak out for me"
I don't think he's like "i don't care about all of it, fuск of", he's more like "i know that this is bad, but I'm not willingly would torture myself by overthinking about it". No one says you should not be aware about this, but becoming doomer because all of stuff that's going on all over the world is counterproductive... Trust me as a person, who's living around 600 kilometers from warzone, and has relatives, that like at the distance of artillery fire from it. Stay strong.
@@sabereaseera1384 i do actually ! i think people should at least have a little empathy about whats going on in the world even if it doesnt directly involve them or something they have no control over . but then again this is dantes we're talking about
I totally get that take, but a lot of times there is something you can do to help, even if it's small! Of course, don't get emotionally invested into something until you can't to anything else, it's easy to research whether you can make a small impact or not
Yeah you can, RUclipsrs, influencers, ect can be assigned yo families yo help, you can donate, you can raise awareness, you can protest, ect, absolutely everything helps and shame on him for thinking otherwise
protesting doesnt do shit for gaza or ukraine. youre virtue signalling and putting yourself on a pedestal of moral high ground while having zero impact on anything. by all means if you want to help ukraine, join up to their army. oh right you wont. because youre just yapping but wouldnt actually lift a damn finger. i wouldnt lift a finger either but at least im honest about it.

Dude no protest can change gaza for the better, it only raises hate for jews and money for the leaders of hamas that use them for weapons and terror tunnels instead of building a wealthy country.
This is actually one of the few things I’m open about. Yes shit is sad right now, people are dying, but there’s nothing I can fucking do about it. It’s useless to kick myself down fucking stairs when I have my own life to worry about, I have my own family to keep safe.. I truly do wish these people wouldn’t suffer but I have my own priorities
tell me what can an american league of legends streamer realistically do to solve the conflict in gaza or stop the war in ukraine? as dantes said, you would need hell of a lot more money to pull off something of significance. hes not a millionaire
@@yihadistxdl951 Relatively, he has better things to worry about, so he can't do much. But if you look at it closely, he does have a strong impact on those around him, on his friends and admirers. I don't want him to fight a war he has no horses in, because he realistically can't do much because (one example) he is thousands of miles away. I am just urging you, me, and everyone to never forget that we do weigh on the scale. It's just a matter on where we stand on it that determines our impact.
Well. It's sad to think we are completely powerless. I like to think there is power in numbers. Who makes the trillionaires rich? We do. So we can make economic impacts with collective effort.
the trillionaires are rich by selling people shit they want, or increasingly, need. You dont really have a choice if you want to maintain any standard of living.
half of the charities steal and embezzle the money they get. if i give a charity org an euro, the actual target will end up getting less than 10 cents of it. and if youre not a millionaire you cant afford to give money to poor people with a 10% success rate when 90% of the money makes rich people even richer. even our church uses the church taxes to get an expensive mansion for the bishop. its ridiculous
But how do you know the charity you're donating too is actually doing something or using your money wisely? If not you've essentially wasted your time and money
But if we all say “I can’t help no matter what I do.” What will that accomplish? Sitting around and doing nothing about issues that you CAN speak up about hasn’t kept the world moving, people caring about others even across the world is what has kept the world spinning. Dante lives in a world where he can ignore death, sorrow, and more- yet for others, its their daily life.
you said it so well! this is such a privileged thing to say honestly, bro literally just said his feelings are more important than millions dying. everything counts, he literally has a huge platform and lots of money too, he’s more than capable of sparking some change. this video really made me lose all respect i had for him
He speaks up about it, it's not gonna matter. It doesn't matter how big any person's gonna get. If they don't active fight in the war, they are doing nothing to help. You may not like it, but Dantes is right. People have been protesting for months, and where did that go? Oh right, absolutely fucking nowhere. Nothing's changed, because not yours, or anyone else's words matter.
@@m31i0n7 if we just stopped caring about others, the world would turn to chaos. Whining that your little bubble is bursted won’t change anything and only make things worse. You realize that ALL influencers have a chance to speak up about a topic and reach others, no? A few words can save lives.
One is not enough for a change but millions are, think about how we significantly lowered the numbers of Starbucks,mcdo etc.. We can’t change the course of change alone but together we can (May 1968 in France guys)
As brook said one time: "Don't matter how do you wait or make while waiting, the time won't pass faster or change anything, Chooper" Or something like this because i don't watch it in english
There's no sense worrying about what you can't control. If everyone thought the way you want, the world would have went quite literally insane thousands of years ago. Indifference to what you have no power over keeps us mentally healthy, instead of worrying and stressing over something that just doesn't matter. Use your brain, kid... please.
Given that we’re in a tough economic situation those small actions will be smaller, and not to forget that just because you guys have numbers, it doesn’t mean that all of you will do your absolute best.

you are the proof of his words, you think you make a difference but in reality everyone hates you way more than they will ever care about what you stand for.

No because you could help donate to organizations or people individually affected by these kinds of issues. If you have money then you can make more of a difference than not running ads.

@@thetruthseeker7962 What a snobby comment. Where was this empathy during the Tigray war? 200-600k dead in 2022, silence. If the current conflict were in two African or lesser-known Asian countries, you wouldn't even hear about it to give a shit.
People don't care about this because they're empathetic, they care because its politicized and trendy. You and many others will only 'empathize' when a tragedy is conveniently shoved down your throat for months. Mantis and Dantes are at least consistent in their apathy, show their position some respect.
i agree, just dont harden your heart and become someone like destiny or unempathic.
Could give to a charity tho. Usually with as little as $100 you could potentially save a family.
except there are very little charity organizations you can realistically trust that the money goes to the right place. i hardly know any charities that give a significant portion of the donation to where its supposed to go. from an euro that you donate that poor african family probably ends up getting 10 cents. also african families dont need money, they need a source of income, education and healthcare.
Most charities are reliable. Like, how do you even know that what you are giving is helping anyone?
You have to be careful with charities. Some Charity heads get rich off donations aand send pennies to help the issue.
EXACTLY. Nothing you do will ever matter except to you and those around you.
Unless you becomw some hotshot leader or an inventor of some based thing I guess
This. I can never understand how people have so much energy to care about all the things in the world. I mean I used to be hyper empathetic, to the point embarrasses me to look back on, but as the years went by, it all just becomes so emotionally exhausting.
@@mroffice8166 being remembered can also mean being remembered bad. Take michael jackson. A legend. But then theres also those pedo alligations that many believe.
Honestly being known or not is both acceptable outcomes
Are you guys thinking through what you are saying? If everyone had the same ideology as you, would you think the outcome is positive? Hell no.
Governments will be able to do whatever they want without a care in the world because the people wont pressure them into anything. This is exactly how they want you to think.
You do have power. Especially in numbers. The argument “I cannot change anything” doesn’t work at all, because, sure, you ALONE cannot change anything, but if you get together with others, you will be able to make a change.
Stop trying to convince yourself that no matter what you do nothing happens. If this was true, then the governments wouldnt need to use propaganda. Why do you think that exists?
@@mroffice8166 so basically you gotta win the lottery
“What am I supposed to do? Get emotionally attached to something I can't control?”
Wise words said, Dantes. Wise words.
Honestly I get this take, but as a Palestinian myself nobody can really fathom what it means for people to not care enough to do something, or the people who do "care" attacking random people in TikTok comment sections for drinking Starbucks. Honestly I just want peace of mind and I find many people in this comment section privileged that they can sleep at night knowing that their extended family is unlikely to get bombed or killed in another gruesome way. It's really hopeless and I pray that this never happens to anyone else like how it is happening right now, and that nobody else can know how it feels to know so much but have the ability to do so little, I pray that there will never be a time in history again where the world puts such little attention on the worst things.
Let's not pretend like your esteemed compatriots wouldn't do even worse if they had the means.
@@ronmastrio2798 I’m confused as to what you aimed to tell me with this comment. Palestinians have never been violent, there has been much stigma over “Middle eastern terrorists” and it’s very much a stereotype. They opened their homes in the 1900s to victims of the Holocaust, just to later be kicked out of their homes by Jewish people. Please educate yourself, I mean really no harm but my “compatriots” are just trying to get by. Hope this helps!
@@thatlatinaarab Im sorry but both Palestinians and Israelis are violent. To live in that part of the region you had to fight. Many empires have conquered it. Dont deny that israel was invaded the first day it was founded. Islamic massacres took place before. Israelis feel the same way you do they are scared of hezbollah and iranian missile strikes. Lots of them want peace but governments and new polarization splits them far apart
Consuming negative news leads to depression
Can confirm. My depression got WAY worse after all these wars and stuff

Those last few lines about being willfully ignorant on matters you can't control really need to be heard by more people, especially the entirety of Twitter
Sure, you can't control it but you can have an influence.
Influence to do what, try and influence a significantly small amount of people who also can't do anything to something they can't control@@liu3chan
@@liu3chanyet nobody will listen and nothing will happen fast enough for it to really matter….
This mentality is what makes this true, it's an Ouroboros
Yes but since it is the way people feel then it is true, and so it's reasonable to add to that cycle by doing nothing. Is it selfish, yes, but you gotta live for yourself so if someone wants to ignore the suffering of others it's that person's right to do so. I know I do it
That's literally not true. People with an audience can help fundraisers. Theres someone on tiktok that pairs people up with fanilies trying to escape Rafah and all they have to do is make one short video about that family and what they're going through and leave a link for donations to help them. Even small creators are participating and making a couple thousand dollars to donate. If you have people watching and listening to you then you CAN do something. You choose to be complacent because it's convenient, not because you can't do anything. And i think you know that.
We also know that laziness in optimism gets us nowhere, and that in order to help others we must help ourselves first. Simply because there are numbers does not mean that the numbers will do all they can, and simply because we’re “America” does not mean we’re immune to nationwide problems like inflation.
@InsanityoftheSanities I'm one bad month away from being homeless but I can still donate a dollar here and there to the olive branch project. And I bet a couple thousand of Dantes' fans can also afford to spare one dollar.
@@seikoshinohara3084 sure, but we don’t want to sacrifice it all, including jobs, properties, and lifestyle, to people we don’t know with our own economy on the line. Imagine it failing on us with the result of cutting off many jobs through an economic depression.
the best way to lose your audience,especially when you have audience that play games,is talking about politics
its not tiktok,you cant just do whatev and still be irrelevant
and if you lose a part of your audience ,you lose money and you know no one want to lose money
@@InsanityoftheSanities no dude. You're not gonna sit here and tell me that we're gonna ruin our lives and collapse our economy if we donate one dollar to a fundraiser.

Why? It doesn’t affect you
Dante just give the best advice of the entire 2024
Wrong. You can. Your choice to be willingly ignorant isn’t because you can’t affect change, more you don’t want to, you just don’t care.
Wrong. Keep coping though.
Cope
Keep breathing the new edition of copium. Can you help someone if you need help yourself?
Yes you can boycott
You say that but despite your care, you have accomplished nothing to helping anyone outside of your immediate circle and community.
yall saying this is based know that if everyone took this attitude, nothing would be done
right?? based my ass, everyone praising him is just outing themselves as having no empathy for those suffering. it aint that hard to just care a little bit, no one said to spiral over issues everyday. if dantes told people to donate and everyone donated a dollar millions could be donated, wtf does he mean there’s nothing that can be done, he’s literally rich rich and has a huge following
Or people would mind their own fucking business and not twist themselves in pretzels thinking they can solve problems that have existed long before they were alive and will remain long after they're dead.
@ronmastrio2798 or maybe if we didnt just mind our fucking business we could fix some problems.
Loser mindset. Problems exist, no point trying to fix them.
In my opinion, for the people saying you could donate and whatever ARE right, but at the end of the day you might be helping a single person or a family, but you're not stopping the war.
of course i cant stop a war, but if i could help even just a single person or family, why wouldn’t i? every single individual matters, not just large numbers
Bro finally took his meds🙏🙏🙏
reminder that germans said the same thing about the nazis in ww2.
"First they came for the Communists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Communist
Then they came for the Socialists
And I did not speak out
Because I was not a Socialist
Then they came for the trade unionists

What a stretch, bro is reaching far 😂
I don't think he's like "i don't care about all of it, fuск of", he's more like "i know that this is bad, but I'm not willingly would torture myself by overthinking about it".
No one says you should not be aware about this, but becoming doomer because all of stuff that's going on all over the world is counterproductive...

This is honestly how I live my life you hear sad storys every day sad as it may be it’s not getting better crying over it
I totally get that take, but a lot of times there is something you can do to help, even if it's small! Of course, don't get emotionally invested into something until you can't to anything else, it's easy to research whether you can make a small impact or not
You make a difference for every one of your 1.06M subscribers 😊
But i can boycott, so i did
rare moment of sane dantes
Yeah you can, RUclipsrs, influencers, ect can be assigned yo families yo help, you can donate, you can raise awareness, you can protest, ect, absolutely everything helps and shame on him for thinking otherwise
protesting doesnt do shit for gaza or ukraine. youre virtue signalling and putting yourself on a pedestal of moral high ground while having zero impact on anything. by all means if you want to help ukraine, join up to their army. oh right you wont. because youre just yapping but wouldnt actually lift a damn finger. i wouldnt lift a finger either but at least im honest about it.
@@yihadistxdl951 protesting is a key part of change, to think otherwise demonstrates a lack of social awareness especially if you think things can only be achieved through force and violence/gen /nm
It solely alone won't stop wars but let's not downplay its importance
@@secretformulathief910 yeah yeah and what does that achieve at the end of the day? nothing. abso-fucking-lutely nothing. You, me, they are just as insignificant to the real problem as an ant to a tsunami. Especially not in the youtube comments. Unless you go to war yourself, virtue signaling online does nothing.
The best protesting is not funding the economy but not enough people will do that @secretformulathief910
Dude no protest can change gaza for the better, it only raises hate for jews and money for the leaders of hamas that use them for weapons and terror tunnels instead of building a wealthy country.
I think I’m gonna be out of a job
You go Dantes!!!

ITS HIS THERAPIST THE GOAT🐐🐐🐐
Damn. This is actually why people are starting to stop reading the news. On point.
Even his music taste has improved: "Mr. Blue Sky" - Electric Light Orchestra (ELO)
Ignorance is fatal
Ignorance is bliss.
Guess what?
Help others if you helped yourself.
This is why I love Dantes
This is actually one of the few things I’m open about. Yes shit is sad right now, people are dying, but there’s nothing I can fucking do about it. It’s useless to kick myself down fucking stairs when I have my own life to worry about, I have my own family to keep safe.. I truly do wish these people wouldn’t suffer but I have my own priorities
Dear algorithm, send this to everybody who has Isreal or Palestine flags in their bio to virtue signal
Mostly Palestine.. these people are anti-semitic in 2024, after *all what happened*
Everyone has an impact
tell me what can an american league of legends streamer realistically do to solve the conflict in gaza or stop the war in ukraine? as dantes said, you would need hell of a lot more money to pull off something of significance. hes not a millionaire
@@yihadistxdl951 Relatively, he has better things to worry about, so he can't do much.
But if you look at it closely, he does have a strong impact on those around him, on his friends and admirers. I don't want him to fight a war he has no horses in, because he realistically can't do much because (one example) he is thousands of miles away.
I am just urging you, me, and everyone to never forget that we do weigh on the scale. It's just a matter on where we stand on it that determines our impact.
Dante’s is the modern day Diogenes
everytime he drops a clip I start to think I'm dantes more and more
Well. It's sad to think we are completely powerless. I like to think there is power in numbers. Who makes the trillionaires rich? We do. So we can make economic impacts with collective effort.
the trillionaires are rich by selling people shit they want, or increasingly, need. You dont really have a choice if you want to maintain any standard of living.
Don't pay your taxes I guess...?
I already see twitter trying to cancel him again for this 😭😭😭
Extremely based tho
The first time the clip on top is not unhinged
Bro's onto something🗣️🗣️
You can at least donate to charity. The indifference of good men is what allows the evil forces to win
half of the charities steal and embezzle the money they get. if i give a charity org an euro, the actual target will end up getting less than 10 cents of it. and if youre not a millionaire you cant afford to give money to poor people with a 10% success rate when 90% of the money makes rich people even richer. even our church uses the church taxes to get an expensive mansion for the bishop. its ridiculous
Jews and Muslims both seem like pretty evil forces.
I mean you can control certain things - some charitys mean you can directly save someones life
But how do you know the charity you're donating too is actually doing something or using your money wisely? If not you've essentially wasted your time and money
@shuhei9571 Donate to a well known legit charity - there are organizations that prevent charity's from simply stealing the money
Dantes lowkey a genius sometimes
"If we sit by and become complacent and put our heads in the sand, we're complicit."
But if we all say “I can’t help no matter what I do.” What will that accomplish? Sitting around and doing nothing about issues that you CAN speak up about hasn’t kept the world moving, people caring about others even across the world is what has kept the world spinning. Dante lives in a world where he can ignore death, sorrow, and more- yet for others, its their daily life.
you said it so well! this is such a privileged thing to say honestly, bro literally just said his feelings are more important than millions dying. everything counts, he literally has a huge platform and lots of money too, he’s more than capable of sparking some change. this video really made me lose all respect i had for him
@@mn3io Thank you! You said it perfectly as well!
He speaks up about it, it's not gonna matter. It doesn't matter how big any person's gonna get. If they don't active fight in the war, they are doing nothing to help. You may not like it, but Dantes is right. People have been protesting for months, and where did that go?
Oh right, absolutely fucking nowhere. Nothing's changed, because not yours, or anyone else's words matter.
@@mn3io Lol most of those people you're crying about want non-believers dead. They reap what they sow.
@@m31i0n7 if we just stopped caring about others, the world would turn to chaos. Whining that your little bubble is bursted won’t change anything and only make things worse. You realize that ALL influencers have a chance to speak up about a topic and reach others, no? A few words can save lives.
One is not enough for a change but millions are, think about how we significantly lowered the numbers of Starbucks,mcdo etc.. We can’t change the course of change alone but together we can (May 1968 in France guys)
Doesn't change that your taxes will still go to the government, and they will still use it to fund Israel.
we're back on the winning streak bois
As brook said one time:
"Don't matter how do you wait or make while waiting, the time won't pass faster or change anything, Chooper"
Or something like this because i don't watch it in english
If everyone thinks like this no progress is ever made.
Progress with my mental health will be at least
There's no sense worrying about what you can't control. If everyone thought the way you want, the world would have went quite literally insane thousands of years ago. Indifference to what you have no power over keeps us mentally healthy, instead of worrying and stressing over something that just doesn't matter. Use your brain, kid... please.
More self aware than the an average American college student
you can't have impact on the past, but the future is an option
For those who want the song its "mr blue sky"
he is totally right, a lot of people do this and pretend they don't
See that’s not true Mr Dantes. Every small action you put against something is a big impact, it’s just not one you will immediately see
Given that we’re in a tough economic situation those small actions will be smaller, and not to forget that just because you guys have numbers, it doesn’t mean that all of you will do your absolute best.
he changed our life telling us this
This guy is gonna become the next Marcus Aurelius😭
What you said is wrong. Yes you can make a difference. Look at the students in the usa and the rallies all over the world. They are putting pressure on their governments. It is really just part of being a decent human

Nah, what danted said is right. I live in norway and his words are absolute truth here. Getting.emotionally invested into something you cannot control is childish i think. @lastcomment4532

"loser" is a strange way to label not letting things you cant control live in your head rent free, causing you unreasonable anger and stress.
Think before you comment
dedicating your time to worrying about matters you have zero control or impact over is the most surefire way to guarantee youre wasting your time, not improving yourself as an individual and not accomplishing anything in life. instead of worrying about gaza i spend my time reading biology and studying for med school entrance exams so i can become a doctor and then have the tools to actually make a difference, in other words, becoming successful. what dantes says here is textbook winner/success mindset. its not a loser mindset if it makes you successful in life. its the opposite

Dante just explained my mindset and I've never heard anyone else who thinks this way 😂

No because you could help donate to organizations or people individually affected by these kinds of issues. If you have money then you can make more of a difference than not running ads.
