Finding Something to Watch
I am trying to change my internet viewing habits. Like so many other people, I easily become addicted to YouTube Shorts and adrenaline-pumping news headlines, so I have been weaning myself off of them. I no longer visit Facebook or Reddit or Bluesky or any number of other websites I once enjoyed. I realized they were not good for me, even while I miss the friends and family I met there.
Photo by picjumbo.com on Pexels.comThat is all well and good, but I am now finding I can’t fill the void with television, either. Regular broadcast TV is now mostly just regurgitating old sitcoms, old movies, and twenty-four hour news channels. I can set it to show me a true crime channel and let it provide me with predictable background noise, but it isn’t exactly entertaining.
Photo by cottonbro studio on Pexels.comWhen I try to find a movie on Netflix or some other subscription-based streaming channel, I am faced with a wall of images of guns, anger, fire, and war. I don’t watch anything that is primarily about guns or war, so I am left with a very meagre set of film choices. As I think about this, I realize that this is the situation for most people in north America. We are being fed a steady diet of violence as diversion.
We should not be surprised, then, when people are killed by guns in real life. Whether they are prominent public figures or schoolchildren, their deaths by gunfire have become daily news. And, because that news comes to us daily, it is no longer alarming.
Photo by cottonbro studio on Pexels.comI am not suggesting that the violence in our media causes violence in society, but I do think there is a correlation between our reactions to both. When all our news, and all our movies, and all our social media contain violence, we either shrug it off or shut it off. When it happens in real life every day, all our senses have already become blunted.
When we see family members and friends of victims on the news, they usually express horror and shock at what has happened. For them, the effect is visceral and heartbreaking. But for the rest of us, it is just another mediated crime and it is hard for us to separate our reactions to the real crimes and victims from our reactions to the fictional crimes and victims in films and TV shows.
Like civilians trying to survive a war they cannot avoid, we are all staring blankly at a screen just trying to get through another day without giving up hope.
