@katrinakatrinka @mastodonmigration
i'm aware that right wingers cosplaying #left can create "correct" profiles with all the usual #leftist signifiers
the simple point is you need to stop selling #helplessness, and fucking fight, if you are genuine
or you need to stop selling helplessness, and shut up, if you are a #troll
all that does is help #MAGA win and further #genocide in #gaza
that is the *only* effect of your "perspective"
we do not honor all "opinions"
some suck, some lie

In some cases, they jailed distressed detainees in #isolation, which can exacerbate feelings of #humiliation & #helplessness, acc/to experts.
#ICE has repeatedly asserted that it screens detainees within 12 hours of arrival for medical, dental & #MentalHealth conditions.
At least 3 of the 9 facilities where ICE detainees died by #suicide have struggled to meet that standard, acc/to ICE inspection reports & jail records.

A severe storm begins tonight in #gaza .
Heavy rains threaten the #tents of the displaced,
and souls #cry out from the cold and #helplessness.
#Children without shelter, the sick without medicine,
and tents that can't withstand the wind and rain.#Speak out for them now…
Before the cold overwhelms them,
Before silence swallows them.
Help by #donating at least

How to Shift Out of #Helplessness
We feel like there’s too much to deal with, and it’s #overwhelming because we feel like we can’t do anything about it.

@MarkHoltom I'm sure #rightwing/farright #governments keep it there to try incite #helplessness and boost morale for fascist politicians and their bigoted fanbase.

A quotation from Fletcher Knebel
But a democracy is different. Each of us has got to feel that we can influence events, no matter how slight the influence. When people start believing they can’t they get frustrated, and angry. They feel helpless and they start going to extremes.
Fletcher Knebel (1911-1993) American author
Seven Days in May, “Tuesday Afternoon” [Lyman] (1962)[with Charles W. Bailey II]Sourcing, notes: wist.info/knebel-fletcher/7689…

LYMAN: He’s not the enemy. Scott, the Joint Chiefs, even the very emotional, very illogical lunatic fringe: they’re not the enemy. The enemy’s an age — a nuclear age. It happens to have killed man’s faith in his ability to influence what happens to him. And out of this comes a sickness, and out of sickness a frustration, a feeling of impotence, helplessness, weakness. And from this, this desperation, we look for a champion in red, white, and blue. Every now and then a man on a white horse rides by, and we appoint him to be our personal god for the duration. For some men it was a Senator McCarthy, for others it was a General Walker, and now it’s a General Scott.
Rod Serling (1924-1975) American screenwriter, playwright, television producer, narrator
Seven Days in May, film (1964)Sourcing, notes: wist.info/serling-rod/74965/

It's genocide but they are our friends and allies so it's ok ... and sure it's just the UN peacekeeping force in the area .. we don't want them there in case they see things they shouldn't ... so a few accidental shots at them like the accidental destruction of all the hospitals in gaza #helplessness :(

Have You #Accepted it or Is it Learned #Helplessness?
There’s a big difference between “I can’t change that” and “I give up.” -
We are living exactly this kind of helplessness in France and French politics.
Though the left coalition #NFP won the most seats and Macron, according to therules of the 5th Republic, should have appointed a prime minister from the left camp, he did no such thing.
Instead, he chose to appoint a prime minister whose political formation hardly won 5% of the votes in last elections and represente 8% of the total MP's._____
How does learned #helplessness affect people politically?
That citizens feel helpless has serious consequences – not only for individuals, who may feel more depressed, but for society as a whole.
Individuals who feel helpless might be less likely to participate in the political process, whether by voting or engaging in their community, says Dr Sandra Bloom, an associate professor of health management and policy at Drexel University, and co-founder of the Center for Nonviolence and Social Justice.
Feeling helpless also makes individuals more susceptible to misinformation and conspiracy theories, Farhart’s research has shown. “Humans want to make sense of the world around us,” she says.
When humans feel out of control, they look for explanations as to why. Engaging in conspiracies becomes a coping mechanism, a way to make sense of uncertainty. -

CW: TW: Broken world, injustice (BOOSTS NEEDED) 2/4
My Norway crisis made me realize one particular thing about the systems of power. Even the most civilized ones. They have no soul. But humans do. Even those who choose to lock their souls behind their badges.
This post I wrote a week after getting back from so-called vacation and it doesn’t matter how this information got to me. But matters when. Exactly in the middle of my own mental crisis.
I’m not sure if the universe got the first push right because the person I’m talking about is STILL NOT FREE
Yes, this is also a good #example of how #unproductive is #helplessness. No likes. No #boosts. I wish I could phrase it better that day. And I wish it would get half of the attention that my nudes got here.
Not trying to shame anyone btw. Just stating. I didn't know what to do at that moment either.

Are Our Brains Wired to Quiet Quit?
https://hbr.org/2023/01/are-our-brains-wired-to-quiet-quit
Learned #Helplessness is a response to prolonged negative experiences where we assume nothing we do matters, so we stop trying to improve our circumstances. We can combat default passivity and reduce #QuietQuitting by giving employees a direct experience of #autonomy to develop an internal locus of control. More #freedom lets employees know they can take action to improve their situation without having to suffer in silence -

Mit dem Sicherheitsbericht beginnt der Countdown zur Münchner Sicherheitskonferenz. Es geht um Hilflosigkeit, Bedrohungswahrnehmungen - und sehr reale Krisen.

Regimes regularly present #helplessness, #stupidity, and #arrogance as #heroism and #courage.
Be very careful when you accept the stories of heroism and courage, for one of that is a grave injustice masqueraded as a desirable activity. The other two are just properties of authoritarianism.
