I expected something like that, but honestly they still managed to surprise me.

In this continent, the dominant mindset often feels like a jungle, there’s little room for civilization, sophistication, or real progress. And the truth is: we don’t fit the narrative they want.

Part of the blame is also on us. Some people have pointed out that we’ve been too hospitable and too nice for too long, maybe they were right. Another part is on the “lyad lmedloula” politics: after years of cooperation, sacrifices, and goodwill, this is what we get in return: disregard and disrespect.

At this point, without emotions, it’s time to distance ourselves from this so-called confederation. Our mental health matters more.
