Kind of the same here. It got better since I blocked the names of the two presidential candidates. Less agit prop to be subjected to = less feeling like the world is breaking apart.
But besides that I‘ve long thrown out regular tv to not be audiovisually sedated. I consume movies or series in small doses so I can still make informed decisions and I avoid ads like the plague.
And yes, I feel like we‘re being dominated by a dark triad minority who’s means to stay in power is money, political destabilization and the media conglomerates they own. I regularly get laughed at for saying this.
I'm not really into conspiracies either, but even so I feel like the evidence for this is glaring. Look at how corporations act and treat people. It's not hard to imagine the world as a people farm and the 1% are the farmer.
Amen. I have nothing to add to this.
