If you want to leave a comment on the
website NRKbeta, you have to take a
quiz first. The Norwegian news site
requires commenters to display basic
understanding of an article before they
can give their opinion on it. The goal
is to discourage “rant mode” and
foster more positive, productive,
and informed conversations
among the readers. Source Source 2
The present U.S. administration wants you to be overwhelmed. They want you to burn out. They want to swamp you with bad news so that you don’t know where to turn or how to fight back, or whether you have the energy to be effective.
A suggestion: for every piece of bad news you reblog, reblog something about resistance. Reblog something about how people are building something, in direct contrast to those who are trying to tear us down. Reblog something that lifts your spirits and reminds you why we fight.
Do not do their work for them. Consciously choose to reblog light as well as the important news of what the administration is up to.
They do not get to make us despair.
