But you don’t need to be following the news personally.
Many people around you are.
Those people have this perception, and so they act accordingly. You are looking at memes? Well it’s a matter of hours until you see a meme about wanting to die on 196 or whatever. You watching TV Shows? Yeah TV Shows are entirely drunk on the zeitgeist and the zeitgeist is one of despair.
Ergo. You are surrounded by people who think everything is fucked ™ – And therefore you’ll also feel like everything is fucked ™
Idk I don’t even follow the news anymore, and I don’t need to to see that everything is shit all around me, everywhere

Idk, every close person around me seems to be (mostly) ok with the way things are, or at least much more so than I am.
