I would argue that the problem goes much deeper than for historians. By focusing on the most FUDed national/international news all day, people are collectively incensed all day long for no reason. Doesn’t matter that it won’t affect their daily lives, but they are forced to read it by having it shoved in their face…
- FredPret 3y agoThere's a magic red button with a cross at the top right or top left of every screen that can make the disappear into thin air. Nobody is forced to read anything.
- yunohn 3y agoThis post is about the disappearance of local news - if there isn’t any other news to read, you’re stuck with the FUD is my point.
- FredPret 3y agoThere’s a ever-increasing blizzard of information and content about every imaginable place and thing. You are never stuck with FUD. Maybe that content is on social media now, or wikipedia, or somewhere else, but there is more than ever out there. This is nothing but FUD about FUD.
- yunohn 3y agoAgain, the point of this post is that the blizzard is still primarily the same non-local news. Needles existing in a haystack doesn’t mean we shouldn’t discuss the problem with having an ever-increasing haystack.
