Avoiding outrage fatigue while staying informed

What’s that saying… “you aren’t stuck in traffic; you are the traffic.”

Well, this "semi-noob" has only been here since 2007. I can see it for what it is. People simply aren't free to speak their minds here any longer due to hivemind bubble. If you think trying to point out a serious issue is "sneering", well, you're just proving my point. People simply can't bare to hear dissenting opinions any longer, and won't due to downvoting anything that impinges on their own sense of cognitive dissonance. This post's topic was "outrage fatigue". I am on topic with my original assertion.
