Obviously having immediate needs to deal with leaves less time for news and similar. Immediate needs generally come before abstract long term plans.

  Yes that's exactly my point! Some people think that being oppressed or being disprivileged means that you become a lot more affected by day to day news and hyper aware of all the new stuff around you, politically or otherwise. But that's a deeply privileged take, from people who have a weird and idyllic view of what it means to be a minority or suffering from discrimination,etc. The opposite happens usually, which is sad but that's still reality. Being hyper politicized or hyper partisan is exactly the sign of privilege and it's funny that to see the pervasive narrative that the opposite is somehow true, and that being able to ignore news is a sign of privilege.
