The news media have done us a huge disservice promoting nonstop outrage. It is known that this is done because it gets the most engagement. The true message should be to NOT let everything get to you. We should be encouraging each other to snap out of this endless loop. People have become giddy with rage. Stop it.

No, the world is an unjust place and we should be outraged by the injustices going on, but actually use it productively.

No

Spitting

It’s been out of hand ever since covid (not denying that, it’s just when I really noticed the fear p*** media cycle began) started too, every possible bad thing happening in the world in giant bright red all caps letters with bad headline after bad headline eventually covering the most asinine s*** to be upset about

Nah

Find discipline and direction in your anger

Bad s*** does happen but nowadays more often than not they won’t report on it and then you’ll get week long media events about Bud Light outrage leading to psychotic individuals going to stores and trashing entire aisles because of it

It’s ruining the world. Where is the joy?

I love 5 person panels talking about beer instead of pressing world issues ❤️

The tail keeps wagging the dog!

I have no enemies

thread just pissed me off

Oh okay yeah sure

Two words: collective consciousness.

Most people lack both.

I get this sentiment but at the same time it feels like 9 times out of 10 people get stuck on the 'productively' part. I feel like we as a people would be getting wayyy more done if people prioritized discipline over trying to emotionally will our way to change.

Like OP's example of the news is very illustrative of this. The vast majority of daily news is basically completely useless, and I would argue this is even MORE true if you're a politically engaged person trying to better understand the world

The community that you surround yourself with influences your attitude and outlook on life. The world was never supposed to have this much exposure to the average human being. Between reading about every little negative piece of information and every little mundane detail catered to your consumption style: it is only natural we are in the mess that exists today. 24/7 news channels, technological dystopia, a device with a camera and video camera in your pocket. No wonder this country has the worst attitude and outlook it has ever had.

Sounds good, already knew this, but thanks.

But white peeps definitely need to know though.

Part of what I’m talking about is the obsession with race. It’s mental poison.

white males only reason world sucks for the most part.

You’re either out of it or trying to bait me. Asinine s*** right here.
