Sorry for the rant, but this is something that sometimes really gets to me. Its like people can only focus on 2-3 things at once. And those 2-3 things WILL be forced into every single conversation online. Locally, there was an article about some company that was scamming and threatening people. And so many comments under that article are people going "FREE PALESTINE!" And i get it. Yes, free Palestine. 100%. But do we have to focus on this in every single fucking conversation?
