“Doomscrolling” is infinitely more productive. At least then you’re staying up to date and getting information that actually matters about the place you live and the planet you’re on. Ignoring it and calling it “Doomscrolling” is exactly how they’re hoping you’ll react. But whatever you want to do dude if you think memorizing facts about our society and planet is less productive than knowing the history or stats of some sports team where they trade players regularly no amount of conversation will convince you.
If you think getting excited for a week about something fun that happened is the problem then idk what to say
This right here, this is why so much of the initial reaction to Trump winning was resignment. You can’t have the pedal all the way down 24/7 for NINE FUCKING YEARS and not experience burnout. Not to mention, how doomscrolling can delude you into thinking it’s doing something. It’s not, and unlike doomscrollers, football fans (REGARDLESS of which “football” it is) know damn well it does nothing about world problems.
What did anyone accomplish in the last 8 years by being “informed” via spending hours a day scrolling through every horrible thing that’s happening?
If you diminished that to, say, 30 minutes of doomscrolling a day, how much less “productive” would anyone be?
Doomscrolling is a substitute for action, not action. A general that studies maps for years while the enemy moves is informed of nothing but the exact way they’re dying by a thousand cuts.
