I had similar processing as you do here and I reached a similar conclusion. Insofar as my social feeds can be curated, I began to consciously follow and interact with content that I wanted to see to try and train my algorithms despite content throttling. I wanted to see more ordinary people organizing and people fighting back; I found those people and followed them. The elephant in the room is that DSA is trying to build that bench. And when I realized I was spending too much time inside wallowing, I forced myself to sign up for volunteering, including for DSA representatives running for office because they are the ones working with labor and actually trying to fight back, unlike Schumer and Gillibrand and all the feckless institutions that not only failed us but led us to this moment. Now is the moment to get involved.
