What did anyone accomplish in the last 8 years by being “informed” via spending hours a day scrolling through every horrible thing that’s happening?

If you diminished that to, say, 30 minutes of doomscrolling a day, how much less “productive” would anyone be?

Doomscrolling is a substitute for action, not action. A general that studies maps for years while the enemy moves is informed of nothing but the exact way they’re dying by a thousand cuts.
