I sometimes comment on the actual facts of an issue on threads about an alarmist, clickbait headline. Not to minimize the issue, but to help people calibrate how freaked out they should be.

But people get really offended with the idea of calibrating their freak out. I think there’s just a group of people addicted to outrage. Nuance and critical thinking get in the way of that.

You don’t need to go to 11 on every issue you can calibrate. Trust me it’s good for your sanity.
