His original post , titled I can't sleep, is some brilliant writing. When we talk about the chilling effect that criticism of Israel creates in industries everywhere (including ours) this is what that looks like.

Pretty common at the workplace.

I miss the days where the worst thing anybody did at work was tell too many fart jokes and maybe got a coaching from HR because Karen from accounting is a stuck up bitch and told.

Now, everybody has to be some political or social justice hero. I'm there to do my job and go home. If I worried about every single bad thing that happens in the world, I'd be a nervous unproductive wreck.

Look I'm a coward too. But let's not try to rationalise away our inaction on top of it

I don't give a shit if Israel or Hamas wins. I'm against all killing. War is horrible. Killing is bad. Both sides are at fault here.

I remember a time when people could just talk about games and tech without involving elite warmonger war plans.

Yeah because standing up against genocide is such a political social justice hero thing to do.

Think before you speak next time.

This random guy "stood up" by writing a passionate blog post. I'm sure that's going to solve everything.

If he really truly believes what he believes and wants to do something meaningful, then he should go there and fight for them personally.
