We are mired in this sludge and it negatively affects us even when we do our best to keep it at arms length. I should say - it negatively affects me. I do my best to keep it at a safe distance but after being raised in constantly gaslit environments (church/cult & a white supremacist home) I find it very difficult to escape the horror and dismay it all causes. To put up a protective shell I would have to disengage completely from society and I can’t do that. I can’t in good conscience not do what I can to work against such corruption, lying and gaslighting.
I so wish our media would adhere to actual journalism and not sensationalism. I wish our courts worked for justice and not the corrupt. Maybe in time and with those of us opposed to such corruption and gaslighting working against it - as you eloquently described - things will change for the better.
I think you're right, but journalism is up against it financially and they know that sensationalism pays the bills. It's a sad state of affairs, for sure.
I agree with everything you say here.
