Do you vote and do you consider yourself and informed voter? Do you not even consume local news? I understand the desire to protect yourself from anxiety but surely you have to acknowledge there's a downside to being willfully ignorant and detached from civic life.
I'm probably more informed than the average 30YO voter, but local news is still a huge blind spot for me. Aggregates break down quickly when looking at policy on a local level.
And to boot, city townhalls here are every other Tuesday, usually around 4-6. Better than others I've seen at 2pm, but still not quite something a full time worker can drop in on.
Such an absolutely facile take and certainly a favored one by people who want to pretend there is nothing they can do so they have an excuse to do nothing. Societies problems are as much your responsibility as any other individual.
well, if my country goes Russia, I don't want to be plugging my ears and covering my eyes as it happens. My forefathers did too much to give me this ability for me to just shrug as people try to take it away again.
