For the immediate fit of rage/anger: breathing techniques to take the edge off. And probably not the healthiest advice, but acetaminophen also numbs emotional pain. (Slightly ashamed to admit it, but better than using alcohol.)
I’ve try meditation on/off for years, but it has never really worked for me. In a cathartic way, learning more about the history of collapsing nations has helped me reach a state of inner peace? Reading articles about the fall of the Soviet Union, feudalism, Mussolini’s death feel more topical every day. “Fall of Civilizations” podcast by Paul Cooper is pretty good listening. “History of Japan” by Isaac Meyer is very good overall, and has some episodes on the fall of the Ashikaga, Tokugawa shogunates, the bubble economy of the 1980s. We’re repeating history and there’s nothing I can do about it. All I can do is manage the world around me.
It’s okay to take a break from the internet and focus on your own mental well-being. Don’t let them take it from you.
