Yep. I just pointed out how this article misrepresents the point of the research.

Way to completely misunderstand the point of the article:

Gen Z being open about mental health issues is a "watershed moment" in the workplace and sparking meaningful change in the long term, according to Pike.

~ Pointing out the progress made in brining theee things to the surface.

"At the same time, in the effort to talk about mental health and share around mental illness, there can also become an expanded discourse of experience that at times loses track of normal fluctuation of human experience and mental illness,"

~ pretty self-explanatory here if you’re not polarized and understand how nuance works.

Feeling stressed out when you have a deadline or feeling sad, disappointed or anxious are "normal life experiences."

~ again, self-explanatory, but the gist is that anxiety and stress are normal and oftentimes even beneficial. It’s part of nature and as animals, it’s healthy that we have this. Expecting a completely stress-free working environment is absolutely ridiculous and unrealistic.

If a murder suspect is held, awaiting trial that doesn't mean, that a murder didnt happen.

It doesn’t mean it did either and that’s why most reasonable people don’t call them a murderer.

Case close. We’re done here.

So you agree that it’s currently NOT genocide and that he term is being misused. That’s all I be been saying.

IF.

So it’s not a genocide… CURRENTLY. And yet- all the kids pile on the outrage when someone points this out.

I’m hoping they get dismantled and vaporize into a cloud of abject embarrassment and ridicule- then collapse in on itself like a dying star.

Fingers crossed that it is.

Just read up on it for once.. and yet and understand what genocide means while you’re at it. Having taken a quick trip through your comment history- I can see that you have absolutely nothing to offer of any value to any discussion I might find myself it.

So I’m going to block you so I don’t have to keep suffering second-hand embarrassment.

Okay… last time I’m going to dumb down what I’m saying so you can understand:

My point was that since the two wars are similar, and the reasons are similar- it’s strange that you’ve all chosen only the one to be outraged about.

Pay close attention to this part:

If there’s “genocide” happening in one- and very similar events are happening in the other… Then that one HAS to be genocide also….

But it isn’t.

because IT ISN’T.

If I’m lucky, it’ll be the same day you wake up and understand that there’s nuance to almost everything that exists- And that the manufactured outrage you are feeling over things happening in a country you didn’t give two shits about a year ago- have been playing out for nearly a century- and will continue to play out long past your time on this planet.

There’s no genocide to excuse. Though I’m curious as to why no one has been crying about the genocide in Ukraine. Since the goals of both invading forces are essentially the same.

Sorry man, I just don’t fall into flavor-of-the-week outrage. Things are sometimes exactly what they are. Please, by all means though, continue to willfully misunderstand, and misappropriate the words of others as it suits whatever agenda you happen to be following at the time.

I’m done arguing because i don’t exercise futility. It’s a pointless debate. I don’t just make up the rules to things so they can fit my agenda because I have no agenda.

I’ve no dog in that race and therefore have no bias. And having no bias allowed me to see it objectively and without any manufactured emotional outrage.

It’s not genocide. By definition, or U.N. policy.
