I do at least 2-3 hours a day and it's beginning to feel like a crack addiction.

I am also realizing I get mad at the news so much, but at the end of the day if I don't use this information for some sort of praxis, what is even the point of just regularly getting mad?

    almost zero, ever since I realized that bourgeois electoralism is a busy box. it's a lot less stressful.

    I read the occasional news but nowadays I mostly just see the jokes people make about it here

      uh what? literally everything that is happening in the world is bourgeois electoralism? you don't need to know anything about what is going on outside your room?

      the biggest problem with online leftists is they don't actually understand anything about how power works in the real world so they look like absolute fools outside safe spaces

      I seem to remember one thread in particular a few months ago where you, /u/emizeko, wound up defending the Thai monarchy and military because you found a single article on a right-wing conspiracy website and believed every word because you don't know dick about anything

              It's very clear you don't actually know who this person is or what the protests are about.
