Humans evolved to pay close attention to danger, but today that instinct is being overwhelmed by an endless supply of bad news from around the world. Researchers say the answer isn’t to stop following current events—it’s to build healthier habits around how, when, and where we get our news.
It sounds like the group you were working with was ineffective tbh. I don’t know who you were worrying with, but it’s not going to protests that do it, it’s working with a group like some DSA chapters that actually recognize the material conditions and use historical materialism to combat them.
Well the ADL thinks that DSA is a hate group now…so they instantly get my vote.
