There's something about what's going on in the world that triggers something more visceral in me. I feel more afraid, angry, tribal. I am absolutely terrified of how I see everyone responding. It's not really what they say as much as the frames they use to say it.

I have such a strong senation that I need to fight this really hard, like everything in me is screaming NO at the world, but I don't know what to do except maybe move. Because the fear in me makes inelegant tweets, so I mostly try to not explode with the words I want to.

As in I agree that black lives matter, that the police are freaking terrifying, that racism is bad, etc. But the bad frame uses religious style concepts - the total depravity of "you're in a racist system", the lurking Satan of "if you don't totally buy in you're racist"

If anything is triggering, it means you need to take a step back. Spend that free time reflecting on why it triggered you and how you can move past it. If you don’t give yourself that, you will fall into the confusion of opinions overload and be more stuck then you were before.

Turn off the social media and work in the garden, as Voltaire suggested in "Candide". In Europe it is still possible to live by this principle.

Propagandists have honed their skills to get you angry FAST.
It's not you. They are trying to get us all excited. We are being manipulated.
