Protip: dot ml might not like “woke 2.0” for too long.
Good. Fuck’em.

This just in, ignorance is still bliss
Yeah, but ignorance makes you ignant.
Hmmm, how about that. People who pay attention to what’s going on around them are less happy then the blissfully ignorant? Wow, someone should look into this and find out why?
Most of the MAGA sphere spends all day watching all the things the news people tell them to be afraid of. I don’t buy this for a second.
Yeah I think I recently have read here on Lemmy that the amygdala is bigger for MAGA, so I think the opposite is true indeed.
Which would also make more sense, because of all the irrational anxieties those scum has…
I believe its called “amygdala maxxing”
You gonna tell me a shit post may not be factually accurate?
Shit but verify, that’s been my motto.
Sir, my pearls have been clutched!
Good
It was maybe a month or two ago that an article showed that studies like these - all usually done as surveys - are highly susceptible to changes in input from users, just by word choice. In their example, they showed that if you use terms like ‘mental health’ while surveying people, a discrepancy emerges between non-conservatives and conservatives. This discrepancy disappears when you instead ask other questions, such as ones about sleep, worries , and fears.
So I don’t really know if I overall trust the data on happiness overall.
You telling me you dont trust the data for a shitpost?
Simple worldviews tend to be happier. Ignorance is bliss.
Honestly, I am pretty happy as a woke person.
The trick is to watch less news and do more things to actually change anything.
Yep, (social) media is optimized in fueling your emotions, and well the strongest emotions are negative, so it’s mostly optimized towards that.
Avoiding this, doing something more healthy leads to a better mental (and likely physical as it’s connected) health IMO/IME.
I’m part of a mutual aid group that delivers groceries to people every 2 weeks.
We sometimes get urgent requests on off-dates.
I don’t think I can explain how satisfying(?), motivating(?) it was to randomly get off work one evening last week with instructions to buy $50 worth of groceries for someone I’d never met and to drop it off.
To be part of someone finding relief in a terrible situation.
The hardest part was honestly finding a group with flexible opportunities that I could contribute to regularly. Most organizations that ask for volunteers often want business-hour availability, and 6+ mo commitment - ie, good for retirees.
I always thought it was funny how tough that steak seems based on his chewing.
“People incapable of guilt usually do have a good time.”
Yeah… there are normal people and then there are psychopaths, who are unable to feel empathy towards others.
I’d argue there’s nothing normal about being a well-adjusted person in a terminally ill society.
“It is no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a sick society” - some guy
I would rather be a John Brown in a horrid world than be “sane man” in the same such world and boy am I about to give into my madness and zealotry.
If you aren’t at least a little bit anxious and depressed about the state of the world, you haven’t been paying attention.
I also refuse to believe that all the racist, misogynist, bigoted snowflakes out there are living anxiety free, considering how quickly they blow up at the sight of a pronoun.
Yeah, they seem to be more afraid of shit they made up than anybody else.
Like part of the reason small town conservative types don’t like the ideas of cities is because they’re scared of being mugged.
Life would be easier if I just believed that I am superior and that my president is good, too bad I have a brain 🙃
No shit. it’s really depressing seeing all of those filthy pedophiles and nazis getting sexually aroused by dead kids.
and even more depressing watching 2/3rds of Americans refusing to deal with 80 million terrorists in America.
Eighty million terrorists? Think I finally get what “blue maga” means x(
let me guess. you believe in a simple concept: being a bystander is better than resisting fascists. and you love letting MAGA bang your wife and daughter.
I believe you that you, personally, in this moment, are acting exactly like the worst red hat pricks. And that just like them you’re acting against your own interests, making your life (and everyone’s you touch) just a little bit worse. Because just like them you’re a useful idiot. Keep your words out of my mouth.
Everyone who shows up to wave a sign at one or two No Kings parades as the extent of their “resistance” is a MAGA enabler as far as I’m concerned.
Start fighting or stay the fuck home, you virtue-signaling clowns.
How’s the fighting going?
and let me guess… you would fight but you don’t have the balls to do anything other than jack off to ICE agents slipping on ice.
Ah, of course, Canadians must show up and fight your fight for you.
Breaking: people with empathy affected by other people’s suffering.
