If the choice is between depressing news I can do nothing about, and moth memes, please forgive me if I choose the moth memes.
Thing is, we can do something about it — just not alone.
The rub is that it requires other people joining us and organizing to use our collective power to assert our political authority to take back ownership over the base resources which enable society to exist and devise a new system to replace the current, failed system.
Unfortunately that takes a lot of hard work and an inordinate amount of risk. People aren't ready yet to take that plunge; there are still too much bread and circuses keeping the majority of the working class distracted and pacified.
But hey, lamp right?
It is, in fact, everybody's job to keep their poise, especially in the middle of hell, because otherwise they become incapable of becoming informed anyway, since they just go rage-blind.
Rage can be a useful tool when that anger is channeled into a cause.
We shouldn't lose ourselves to anger, that is true, but we also shouldn't pacify ourselves out of fear of it.
