Relatedly, there's a lot of malinformation on CoSo, but trying to correct it all is futile.
A healthier news ecosystem would be one in which it was safe to comment on the grief of more slaughter, more lost lives, more unchecked war, more leaders unable to de-escalate, more bad allies.
I would trust more people here if they were able to sit with those facts first & show care for the pain that comes from it, without rushing to spin everything.
But hey, we're only human, right? 🤷🏻♂️
So take the breaks you need if you start to see tons of people rushing into propaganda mode for the next while, always worrying about optics over humanity.
Use the tools!
And try to forgive yourselves and those around you for not knowing how to do better in these awful times.
We're all just trying to do the best we can from our subject-positions - even if the best we can do happens to cause more harm.
Nobody gets out of this alive, but we can pick *some* battles along the way.
TTFN, team. 💛
