Let's look at the facts. Iran is playing things so cautiously that they are not militarily responding to having a close ally blown up in their own capital, or to having their proxy forces demolished. This is strategically the correct decision for them, in my opinion, since they have no way to seriously harm Israel or the US, so their only real option is to hunker down and maybe try to build a nuclear deterrent.
The idea that this government would try to assassinate a former US President and current Presidential candidate, thus almost certainly triggering a massive US attack on Iran, including on its nuclear facilities, is absurd.

Redditors just lack the emotional literacy to understand that coping can be a really good thing that helps you live your life. They see themselves as super rational and logical because feelings are for stupid women, so they think their negative feelings are not actually feelings at all, but objective facts. In their minds, distracting themselves from their negative emotions is distracting themselves from reality.
And again, they think feelings are stupid, so they're never gonna go out do their way to learn about mental and emotional health. So maybe they haven't even really heard of the concept that (healthy) coping is a good and important skill to have, idk. They probably think they're too smart to go to a therapist or read a self help book or anything like that.
