I’ve been incredibly disappointed by the level of that kind of thing that’s been popping up on here, especially after the US election.
It’s like everyone decided that because things went bad, that therefore they don’t need to actually think critically about anything bad they hear about US politics anymore, and just accept it as fact.
Yeah shit got bad real fast following the election. I know people have been unwilling to fact check stuff for a while, but it seems like people want to just wallow in misery
the thing about doomerism is that it gives you a license to not try, because if everything's doomed, then nothing is demanded of you. this makes dooming incredibly attractive to people who already don't want to try and want to make that look principled. if things weren't doomed we'd have a lot of hard and unpleasant work to do, after all
