    Its all concrete and asphalt. And then I’m back and its this again. And its both not something I can do anything about but also not knowing about it has repercussions for planning a future.

    The problem is, you can’t not pay attention to the news. All the things going to shit isn’t in some far away place that’ll never effect you (and if you believe that ignoring it will make it go away you’re only kidding yourself).

    Prices of everything is still going up without wages going.

    A lot of us (in Europe) are within cruise missile range of an active invasion by a country that sees all of as enemies.

    Europe is actively working towards spying on everyone’s private information in the name of “protecting the children”.

    Literal fascists and supremacists are gain popularity on Germany, one of the most powerful economies on Europe.

    Because I need to be informed. :/ this shit matters and parts of it effect me directly.

    Even the parts that don’t are also really important.

    I really wish I could just ignore it, but it pays to be informed.

      I honestly believe we’re in this shit because not enough people read the news. And whoever does, doesn’t look up details, just takes headlines at face value, eats the clickbait and moves on.

      If you don’t read the news then you won’t stop hearing about the news. You will just get all the unfiltered hearsay, tinfoil hat theories, propaganda and hate material second hand.

      I bet votes would be different and the world wouldn’t be at this state if MORE people read the news carefully.

    People don’t believe me when I tell them I don’t set an alarm to wake up. My body just knows to wake me up and drown in all my insecurities first thing in the morning, just as my designer intended.

    I am someone like this. I prefer to be informed because it spurs me on to fight against the negativity. It’s why I’m here on Lemmy and why I’m building my own homelab on Nix via a flake that I can share and help setup with my friends to get them off of capitalist bullshit.

    My partner though with her anxiety has much more trouble with the constant depressing state of news. She can only handle at certain times and for so long because it makes her too sad or too depressed, which I totally get. That’s exactly how they want us so we don’t fight back.

    Too bad that some of us are fueled by your incompetence and injustice and will absolutely do what we can to hold you asshats in power accountable.

    In 2028, President Vance

    By 2030 Gay Marriage will be banned

    By 2040 the 19th Amendment will be repelaed

    At some point Sodomy Laws are making a come back, and don’t think gender affirming care is going to be legal for anybody.
