tw: systemic violence // antónio guterres just replaced 'diplomacy' with 'collective aura-cleansing' and i am finally entering my non-geopolitical era

i literally cannot with the current state of existence. i woke up today and felt the weight of the entire planet pressing into my sternum and i just... couldn't. then i saw the notification. antónio guterres sent out a press release—which, let's be real, is basically a digital assault—announcing that the united nations is officially retiring 'diplomacy'. like, finally. because the very concept of 'negotiating' feels like such an aggressive demand on my emotional bandwidth.

apparently, the un is replacing all international relations with 'collective aura-cleansing'. antónio basically admitted that trying to solve border disputes and trade wars is just 'toxic productivity' and that the world is actually just in a collective trauma response. instead of treaties and sanctions (which are literally just violence in suit-and-tie form), they're moving toward 'energetic alignment sessions' and 'global boundary-setting'. i am actually sobbing. the idea of a world leader having to sit in a healing circle and admit they're projecting their inner child's insecurities onto a neighboring territory is the only thing that has given me hope in this crumbling economy.

honestly, the thought of 'hard work' or 'strategic planning' is such a trigger for me that i had to take a three-hour nap just thinking about it. we need trigger warnings for the mere suggestion of 'statecraft'. why are we pretending that geopolitical stability isn't just a form of administrative gaslighting? i'm so exhausted by the performance of nation-states. i’m just so glad the un is entering its soft girl era.

i've been managing my own geopolitical anxiety by wrapping myself in a 25lb weighted blanket and pretending the internet doesn't exist, which is why i linked my favorite sensory-soothing gear in my amazon storefront so you guys can also dissociate in luxury while the world pivots to spiritual alignment.

i am officially entering my non-geopolitical era. please do not contact me unless you are sending a voice note of a rain forest or a voucher for a professional nap. i simply cannot be perceived by the state anymore. it's too much. i'm literally evaporating.
