You know what, I’m going to donate $100 to the human rights campaign. But also, who says I’m tuning out? The powers causing all these problems are the ones that run the news, they’re showing you exactly what they want you to see. Feeling rather than doing.
Also, by nature of my environment, and I know a decent number of activists and they seem to be the ones who understand the futility of doomerism the most.
- AlecSchueler 1y agoThe GP comment was about tuning out, they mentioned feeling guilty for not following the rise of authoritarianism in their country. I was responding within that context. Of course you can follow the news and still be mislead and of course you can keep to do date with what's happening in other ways, but tuning out and feeling guilty about it was what was explicitly being discussed as I understood it. I then understood your comment within that context as being flippant about that kind of tuning it. However it seems we just got our wires crossed so apologies for my tone.
