Comment on UK to “encourage” Apple and Google to put nudity-blocking systems on phones

  I’m sick of trying to educate people to see the bleeding obvious robbery of our lives when they’d rather blame their neighbours just because they have a different skin tone and it’s less effort mentally than trying to understand the situation with all the neuances. I’m sick of fighting and struggling for a better life for them as well because they don’t even want it. What’s the point of putting in the effort when these ignorant fools don’t even help and actively work against their own interests?

  I’m mentally and physically exhausted, and I just want to sleep forevermore.

    That’s when you take a break and let someone else deal with it until you’re ready again. Or focus on a different fight and let that one go. You’re irreplaceable, but your participation in that specific fight is not essential.

    I hope you can find a break. I get tired of it, too. Sometimes just not reading the news or social media for a while is enough to recharge. The news and online commentary makes it impossible to even get small breaks that would’ve been common two decades ago and the consumption of it all can be exhausting enough to prevent us from taking any other actions.

      I really never should have opened this thread, but hard agree. I'm doing the small bit I can to help out and I only have that energy because I (mostly) stopped clicking on news and aggressively curated my online experience to be free of politics or depressing news. It's easier to fight the good fight when you are not constantly being shown 28483838 bad things and 28483838 fights to fight.

  What meaningful way of fighting this is there?
