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 their incompetence and injustice and will absolutely do what we can to hold those asshats in power accountable.
