All of this shit sucks ass but it's insult to injury that not one of these people are attractive. We're under the boot of a bunch of hatchet face dweebs. I saw a video of Trump in the UK and that bronzer made him look like a rack of ribs.

Even the BBC is now splashing on the UN commission of inquiry concluding that Israel has committed genocide.
Those who supported Israel's onslaught:

Honestly this is an excuse.
I know plenty of people who are not “naturally gifted” who do art.
It requires effort to learn. I feel you did not approach it correctly or think things happen over night.
Also hard work and skill is not “naturally gifted” as that undermines their efforts to draw.
