Some may think it is irrelevant but I think capitalism plays a role. News are like 90% fucking terrible, horrible news. I really can’t bring myself to watch news. killed… massacred… evil… That’s all the reporters say.
I can watch the goriest movies but when I just as much hear a mother literally threw her baby to dumpster (that’s real and probably happens a lot) I can’t… I can’t continue watching… So sickening. And people watch news with meals? During brekfast? Dinner?
I think news under capitalism focus on the worst points of humanity as bad news sell better than cheering news I imagine. It is also the direct result of capitalism that people are so fucking savage.
News is depressing under capitalism because capitalism is depressing.
lol go on r/mademesmile half the shit they post there is something along the lines of “this guy was fired by his employer for demanding worker rights and then got kicked out by his landlord and then the police brutalized him because he was homeless so I bought him a meal!” with a picture of the two of them smiling and everyone going “awwww so wholesome”
fucking terrifying how blind some people are like what the fuck
Here’s a detailed list of everything that went wrong in socialist countries and why it is to blame on socialism not working.
For some odd reason we cannot, for the life of us, seem to find any reason why we have so much problem in capitalist countries. Perhaps we humans have a natural instict to be miserable the further away we are from the imperialstic core?
