Kinda feels like it requires active effort to not become radicalized if you’re regularly and intentionally engaging with the news now a days

This is why it’s important to diversify your news sources. See how different sources talk about the same event. Challenge your beliefs. Important: sometimes a site not saying anything, says a lot.

Ya doy, no offense but like, current events is my hobby, I go out of my way to get multiple perspectives already, when I say active effort I mean constantly reaffirming to yourself “things will get better without someone having to resort to violence” which feels less and less true everyday

Kinda is the name of the game. For all you can say you know about current events, you can’t lose track of what is physically in front of you. Not getting further radicalized means you have some sort of productive output keeping you grounded. Community activism or leading a private life. You have to eschew your doomer tendencies.
