Instead of pretending to care about Gaza, how about you try caring about the people in Gaza. It's fun not being a fucking monster!

No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Your post history smells of Grimreaper
Their deleted posts do even more so. I'm 99% sure it is the same person. They were also Pixelnomad but that account got banned.
Well nobody can spend all their time thinking about it, that wouldn't be healthy
But you have gone out of your way to tell us you not only don't care, you maliciously don't care. I hope the person who didn't believe you were a sociopath on your previous posts see this. You are either a sociopath or going out of your way to convince us you're a sociopath
If you are earnestly concerned about whether you should act like you care, I'd say just don't talk about it at all. Probably nobody will ask.
But you brought it up so I'm pretty sure you want us to know hiw awful you are
Seek a therapist.
“The death of human empathy is one of the earliest and most telling signs of a culture about to fall into barbarism.”
—Hannah Arendt
“I told you once that I was searching for the nature of evil. I think I’ve come close to defining it: a lack of empathy. It’s the one characteristic that connects all the defendants. A genuine incapacity to feel with their fellow man. Evil, I think, is the absence of empathy.”
—Captain G.M. Gilbert, Nuremberg Diary (1947)
I've never seen such a tryhard edgy post before so congrats on that.
Is this just shitty bait? I’m going with that, else you are a really shitty person.
Grow up
I think you should just be yourself, and deal with the consequences. Are you afraid of the consequences ?
Imho, that sounds like an underdeveloped brain -as far as empathy is concerned. I know some individuals never evolve the necessary pathways until late in adulthood- for me it happened sometime around my early 20s. I say make new friends, go into the unknown. Perhaps that'll trigger it
You sound kind of like a psychopath. I don't mean that as an insult, but since it's something that can significantly affect your life, maybe you should talk to a doctor or something about your feelings.
At least you realise that it would make you look good. That's something.
More importantly, that age-old question: what answer that you haven't had before did you expect? Also, how often are you going to repost this one, I wonder?
You probably need a psych consult. A normal functioning human should understand and feel empathy with other human beings. You lacking that, especially the way you're describing it, could be a sign of something else at play you should be aware of, especially if you ever plan on having normal relationships with other people and possibly children.
Username checks out.
There is a big difference between "i don't care" and "fuck them". I mean I don't really have mental energy and passion to really care for their conflict (for many reasons) but my opinion is close to: it's horrible and isr*el is fucked up hellhole, not "fuck the palestinians". You shouldn't act like you care unless you care but you can at least filter it a bit or don't participate in conversations that involve that conflict.
That's a common reaction to things too difficult to rationalize otherwise: apathy.
If you want to feign sympathy because you think it'll make you look good, go for it.
Dale Carnegie might encourage you to accept the worst possible outcome -really accept it- then try to improve upon it. And keep trying to improve upon it.
This goes hand in hand with ACT - acceptance and commitment therapy - which is a common method used to help people deal with grief and getting unstuck (overcoming anxiety, fears, etc.), and acceptance is the critical first step. Once you really accept things, that gives you the foundation for commitments to improve the situation.
And they don't necessarily have to be related. You could accept that your partner has dumped you and your commitment might be moving onward with your life by taking/investing time for yourself.
Or you could accept that a war on the other side of the world is not it really influenced much (or at all) by your decisions so you instead you might go for a bicycle ride or go fishing. Something you would rather do than interact with content that you 'don't give a fuck about.'
The internet is a great place for children to express wild views and try out extreme politics in order to test boundaries and discover themselves. I support this acting-out; it's healthy. You may grow up to be an moderately adjusted person.
Are you asking permission to be a coward? Go ahead and lie, you will one way or the other.
I doubt that caring about Palestinians is mainstream enough to make it worthwhile to pretend (unfortunately). If you can't make yourself care, just STFU.
This is maybe hot take in the left wing crowd but it's perfectly reasonable. You fundamentally have no obligation to care. It maybe would be nice if you followed the geopolitics to make more informed decision when voting for next president, but this isn't mandatory in any way.
