Don't you think it's quite ironic that the subject I’m trying to avoid is being discussed in this post?

I wish I could’ve saved Palestinians from US and pocket-US but I can’t. So why should I keep being sad about that? I can’t change anything anyway.
How dare people be happy! The world isn't perfect yet! You're not allowed to be happy while others are sad! You haven't solved world peace, try harder!
I’m living in ME, not US.
How can I prevent this? First of all I should start reading news about it on Lemmy, I guess?
I think the point is that he’s blocking it from daily exposure. Obviously these are very important events, but the inundation of articles - some of which trying to capitalize on the violence - can be detrimental to the victims. Over-exposure to this horrific war causes it lose its severity.
Everyone trying to follow and stay aware of what’s happening should be picking and choosing their sources of information anyway. I wouldn’t call Lemmy best source for this or any world event.
