| And the whole point of Twitter is to wear you down with irrelevant stories to the point that you feel disconnected from Politics. That's wrong. And the sooner you get off of clickbait / boy cried wolf style hyperventilating, the sooner you can focus on what matters. You know. Like what the President says during wartime. While ignoring a million of useless bots and bad analysis. -------- Your opinion is correct, with regards to Twitter and other awful clickbait media. Most things there don't matter. But The Atlantic wrote a story about the Presidents escalating words and rhetoric in wartime situation. That actually matters. The issue of today's media is one of prioritization. Deciding what does, and doesn't matter, is key. ------------ I get that you are tired of the clickbait and crap. But my recommendation to you is to cut out the crap from your life. Disconnect from Twitter and Facebook and maybe you will feel better. Choose better media. And think about what is or isn't important. Decide how you spend your time and what stories you should be reading. Don't cut off the world, but instead focus your attention on what matters. |
