Memes about the suffering of the innocent don’t actually help either. If your feeds were just a firehose of misery you are ultimately powerless to change, all that would do is hurt you.
I’m not saying we should be ignoring the wrongs of the world. All I’m saying is that there is a time and a place for moths.
