People here will literally tell you “I don’t want to hear about it” but then complain about the gas prices. It feels like a total Don’t Look Up moment.

    Congrats, now you know the situation in Russia regarding the Ukraine war.
    People feel powerless, are swamped by trying to make a living (which is by design), and at the same time feel like this is all wrong and someone ought to do something about it, which leads to a sense of guilt and shame.
    So they shield themselves from it and wait for it to pass.

      they also can’t do anything about it.

      just like, you can’t do anything about your loved ones getting cancer or other misfortunes of life. And presuming that you can… is just going to destroy you emotionally. All you can do when subjected to forces beyond your control is just keep on moving on and accept it that you have no control over it.
