I just have so many head shaking moments lately. Sometimes I just want to shout stop, let me off!!

  • Netanyhau nominating Trump for the Noble Peace Prize when he should be nominating himself for the International Criminal Court.
  • Trump.
  • Literal genocide going on in Gaza and the world is looking away.
  • The level of meat eating in the world and the cruelty that goes with that.
  • A standing ovation for Kate at Wimbledon and the general royal sycophancy.
  • Influencers.

AIBU? Any other shake your head moments?

What makes me think 'stop I want to get off the planet' @PicturePuzzle ??

People (who are left wing/far left) - who have intense, deep rooted contempt for anyone who has different (more centric or right of centre) views, and labels them bigots, gammon, racist, and thick.

People who call those who voted for Brexit thick, uneducated, knuckle-draggers.

People who say 'pregnant people, people with uteruses, people who menstruate, cis woman etc, and who think women should not be allowed their own private spaces with other women and girls only...

Religions that class women and girls as second rate citizens.

Anti-semitism/hatred for Jews.

It's so confusing as the word "literally" is often misused. The OP makes no exception.

My apologies, noted on my grammar.

I think there’s 2 separate strands for me wanting to emigrate outside our solar system.
Theres the ongoing abhorrent stuff like people’s lives not mattering to the important and being disposable, and stuff of women’s rights, or lack of and their repulsively imposed no quality of life. Can’t begin to list all these, not all other -isms that impact on average Joe just wanting to live a quiet ok life.
Then there’s the wtf unbelievable stuff of Trump and MAGA, setting fire to hotels with people inside as you think immigration is out of control. Stuff I struggle to comprehend (in a different way)and think I must actually be on the wrong planet.
Obviously many crossovers between the 2 - but yeah so many reasons to leave - sadly for my grandchildren I just hope some at least improves.
