    I got 4 upvotes and 23 downvotes. I’m pretty sure it’s pretty clear y’all have the prevailing worldview. Furthermore, I just… Don’t know what it is? I just know you think I’m vapid, and I don’t really know where I’m supposed to start digging into making myself better because I’ve received literally zero constructive feedback. Just a bunch of “Look at what a vapid idiot! Haha!”

      You’re not worth putting the effort into making a plan for recovery. You are here to upset folks and we’re not falling for it. Hopefully you learn something.

        lmao what? no i definitely am not trying to upset folks. i don’t even actually know how “doctors without borders have an incredibly important mission to humanity, and a shared goal of reducing suffering” is upsetting. in fact, despite the fact that i should know better, this thread has gotten me really upset because resisting collonialism is so important and what doctors without borders is so important, and now i’m finding out that the perception is that i just want to upset people?

        i really mean this: i feel really disoriented, misunderstood, and hurt. i think i’m gonna go on a hiatus for a while because if this is what lemmy is gonna do to my mental space i don’t want it in my life

          it’s because people are misunderstanding your joke as saying “they should try not being colonialists” (pretty hard to read it as anything else tbh), and you’re misunderstanding the backlash as people shitting on dwb when it’s literally the opposite
