Why are you so fixated on what others want to see in their Lemmy feed? I see politics everywhere else, I don't want to see them here, I may start blocking as well

I don't know if I would call a single comment on the matter, ever, as "fixated".

Someone who didn't care at all wouldn't bother to comment and call someone delusional then proceed to reply to every following thread, I think fixated is pretty apt

We have different definitions of fixated then, friend. I consider replying a matter on carrying on a civil conversation, but I'll note that it can also apparently be a sign of fixation.

How is that delusional? Blocking out stressors is perfectly reasonable. Yeah you miss out on some relevant news, but lower stress might be worth it.

People in the current year literally believe this

No, were on social media, which means anything you do that's good for your mental health is neurotypical delusional malicious bullshit

Can't block out reality forever, as I said some of these things are very much going to affect the majority of people whether they like it or not.

I have to eat three meals a day, but I don't walk around with a plate of food all the time

You know that there are at least several people in the world who are not Americans, right?

You know that the US is a leading world power that can affect other places, right? I'm not even in the US, myself.

Just because it affects us doesn't mean everything has to be about it all the damn time. Besides, it doesn't affect us all equally.

[–] iAmTheTot@sh.itjust.works 5 points 15 hours ago

I certainly would agree that not "everything has to be about it all the damn time".
