It's far from complete ignorant bliss, things aren't that black and white.
Another commenter said I would have missed the nationalist party in germany starting to harass jews if I didn't watch the news. My reply below:
I'm pretty sure I would hear about kids breaking shop owners windows for being of a certain cultural origin. Even without checking the news.
Like I said, some news manages to filter through to me. And it's often completely pointless.
For example Youtube sometimes recommends news from my country to me, even if I never watch it. in 2019 I can remember them recommending news about some missing girl up north. But I had to hear from my friends about a handicapped guy who was shot 25 times by the police for playing with a toy gun. They didn't recommend that one.
I do vote btw. Since I don't consider myself capable of keeping up with politics I vote with my instincts, as most others. I either vote for the social democrats/left or the green party.
I don't fuss over details or little missteps they might have done. I believe the green party has the right direction and their voice needs to be stronger in parliament. Equally I believe the left still cares about workers rights and unions.
- izzydata 7y agoComplete ignorance is the conclusion of that line of thinking. The fact that this person hears "some" news is only an unfortunate consequence of existing in a world with other people. If they could they would remove that from their lives too so they could be even happier. Complete ignorance was the premise of my remark so it doesn't really make sense to say it's far from complete ignorance.
