Comment on MFW I wake up to find Lemmy feeds full of USA stuff
TwoTiredMice@feddit.dk 1 day agoI believe not reading news is what got us here. Too many have given up and don’t take a stance, which allows the situation to just get worse and worse.
But, I also stopped reading news. I stopped the day Trump won the election. The world is a shit show and I won’t allow my mood to get dragged down every day. I have a family and kids and I want them to have a good life and a fun dad to be around.
If things like what happens with the ICE raids are happening, the Epstein files, dictatorship suddenly threatens everything I’m not burying my head in the sand, but I want to dose the amount of news I consume.

Both people not reading good news sources and people reading bad news sources is what got us here. It lead to tons of people voting for a conman who lied to their face after his toadies told his base them exactly what he’d do, and tons of people staying home when it mattered.
I know voting is one of the least effective ways of making change, but people have to realize that not voting is a great way to allow negative change to take hold.
