The idea that "simple entertainment time isn't that important" because people should always be ready and willing to listen to political voices "about important things" is a very quick route to poor mental health, generalised anxiety and (ultimately) no one having the mental resources or energy to do anything about anything.
How do you cope when you watch soap operas? That's classed as 'entertainment' too..When there's a particularly harrowing storyline do you book yourself in for counselling?
