Usually I start hating everybody, start a temper tantrum in my room, then my house, then the streets. Everybody in sight needs to know there's somebody wrong - on purpose! - on the internet. My anger convinces everybody immediately, usually. My blood pressure rises, just as my voice. I feel my heart pumping, just as my inevitable headache. But it's all worth it. /s

On a more serious note: just (try to) ignore that sh1t. Every minute spent thinking/feeling about someone else's agenda is a minute not spent on life. Seriously, the magpies in the trees in front of my house are more interesting than any news channel, politician, youtuber, or whatever.

Search for 'no contact' or 'grey rock' with your favorite search engine. I think it can help a lot of people in a lot of situations, just as it helped me. Pro tip: it's not only applicable to the situations it was intended for.

Have a good day y'all! I'm going to watch some magpies.

My own strategy for dealing with lies on the internet is to not get caught telling them. ;)

My small but exquisite social network informs me of things like the start of WW3 and I miss out on something then I have simply made my choice. If it's not my agenda or the agenda of someone I love, then it doesn't deserve mind-share. The MAD-men who try to rule us with the threat of nuclear apocalypse deserve no one's attention.
