the people paying attention to the news constantly and using that to actually makw change are not watching a constant stream of it from their phone...they're coordinating in groups to affect the most effecient change for their time/sphere of influence (first step generally being to secure the local government, the majority in the US are captured by local business/real estate baron interests) if your sphere of influence just comprises your immediate family and friends, it does you no good to occupy your mind with the suffering of those halfway across the world (unless you think their suffering is tied to an easily solvable problem you have the answer to). doing so just robs you of energy/agency to affect change where you can have the most impact. there's saying i don't remember where it's from... before you fix the world you have to fix your country, before you fix your country you have to fix your community, before you fix your community you have to fix your neighborhood, before you fix your neighborhood you have to fix your family, before you fix your family you have to fix yourself.

¯\\_(ツ)_/¯ Well, that's my attitude. There's plenty I ignore. I apologise for nothing. Decide for yourself how invested you want to be. Let others decide for themselves.
