No, I just try to. My blocklist is like forty miles at this point
Edit: always entertaining to read rationalizations of “exposing myself to the constant depressing drudgery of political news coverage is like a moral imperative or some shit” btw
people 1) obsess over gathering intel as if they need to figure out what to do and then 2) stress over not doing enough and then 3) post shit online to feel like they’re doing stuff and 4) continue the cycle so that they never have to look inward and work on themselves. focusing on systems is the ultimate distraction. but i guess folks caught in the cycle would say that focusing on the self is a distraction from systems… what a sad, miserable life it must be. i hope one day they see that systems are just made of people are try to help those around them first and foremost… but it’s always people with the most fucked up personal lives that dive deep into politics
