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

      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.

        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.

      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.
