I mean a previous post, some users suggested that life was “better back then” when there isn’t a constant connection to the internet.

So like, just ignore all the news?

Can’t stop the fascism in my country anyways, do I just stop looking at the news and just enjoy the final moments of life before fascism kills me?

    There’s this concept called circle of influence, which is basically what things can you actually do about the things that you know.

    99.9% of politics are outside of any of our individual circles of influence, And news profits immensely off of sharing every single bit of misery inducing sad and dreadful knowledge they can peddle.

    So if it’s outside of your circle of influence, then feel free to completely fucking ignore it, because you can’t do a goddamn thing about it, and knowing about it only makes you sad.

    Like the saying goes, where it is folly to be wise, ignorance is bliss.

    That being said, if there are things that are local to you, or things that you or your friends are passionate about, that are inside of your circle of influence, take the energy you would have spent being sad about the stuff you can’t do anything about, and direct it to the things that you can do anything about.
