You are one person and you can do only so much. If you aren't directly affected by the war and you aren't able to meaningfully change anything then why waste the energy?
If you really want to help people and make a difference, start with your local community. So many people tune in to listen to Ukrainian generals but they wont ever attend the council meetings in their own town.
I have personally seen cases where the whole town was saved all because one person was paying attention. You really do make a difference on that scale.
Thanks. That's genuinely refreshing to hear and motivating :)
