The name's SirenianHeart, Siren for short!
I like video games, drawing, writing, all sorts of metal & rock songs/bands, & making games in RPG Maker.
i think the worst part about "internet activism" is people who share the worst pieces of news possible and don't have anything to say besides "we're fucked" or "we're so cooked lmao"
shut up
shut the fuck up
it literally does nothing to actually positively affect things (no ideas for a plan forward, no call to action), and tanks morale. stop doing it!
FUCKING EXACTLY
It just adds more despair to a disparaging situation!
I'm so tired of that lazy shit that I just block people that talk like that now.
same. I was already tired of it a decade ago, nowadays I have negative patience
Ive lost all patience for it. 'things are bad' yea 'and better isn't possible or worth fighting for' okay goodbye.
It's especially infuriating, because we all (should) know that that's almost always the point of the actions in the news. The people out there making society worse do it to make you feel helpless, so that you'll accept their extremist non-solutions. The scale doesn't matter, from organized crime in local neighborhoods to national political parties subverting courts, they want you to trust people less and consider joining their nonsense as a legitimate route forward...
Thank you for saying this. I keep wanting to scream at people: "I already accidentally do that to myself, I don't need your help!"
I imagine these people as Doomguy in that one comic where he turns out to be the demon for realsies except instead of "rip and tear" they say "post and share"
those people are just falling for it. everyone who makes things suck wants you to think things will suck forever so you don’t try to stop them from making things suck
One of the biggest things I’ve felt leaving twitter was noticing how much better my mood was improving on averaging seeing neither this bullshit nor the “Trending” tab to any degree. Being informed is valuable but nobody needs to or even should be informed on everything possible, especially when how much news media loves to share more of the bad.
