    the media, including google, under a fascist regime is an outrage machine. its purpose is to manufacture consent through a mixture of frothing up the right wing base and wearing out the conscious. you are in an endurance race, not a sprint. when you are tired, it is time to rest. disengage from these media streams and do something small and meaningful to help someone

      too right. i had disconnected from news completely for a while a week or two ago and the difference in my mental state was noticeable

        I’m glad that you recognized it! When you think it’s time to get back into the know, go out of your way to find genuinely positive news. I usually look towards what unions are doing first and go from there

        it’s a real challenge to both stay informed and to have enough energy to do anything about it
