Niko<a href="https://mas.to/@Techaltar" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@Techaltar</a> Loved the "ad" segment on Ground News. I like how you brought examples on how the same story can be skewed - best sponsored ad ever :D. Shameless plug, but to counteract wildly negative new media coverage on both sides, I just launched a side project to ask you a daily question to train optimism. Daily optimism to counteract <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/doomerism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#doomerism</a> (new word I just learned!). <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/1466175138" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://apps.apple.com/us/app/1466175138</a> if you're curious.

ladychelseaofthevoidpeople keep dooming and glooming about the future of humanity and how climate change will destroy uswhile there is significant cause for concern, let's put things into perspective:--the earliest of humankind survived an ice age --humanity survived the Black Plague centuries before modern medicine --humanity is ridiculously adaptable as evidenced by people who have evolved to live in high-altitude regions --we continue to make strides in green energy and quality of life --it may not seem like it, but these are the most peaceful times of our existence --there are millions of people determined to fight against fascism and anti-intellectualism I'm not saying the worst can't happen. But allowing ourselves to be frozen in fear of what COULD happen instead of fighting for what IS happening is not beneficial. <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/doomerism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#doomerism</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/hope" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hope</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/hopeful" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#hopeful</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/mindful" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#mindful</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/fightfascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fightfascism</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/fightforthefuture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fightforthefuture</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/climatechange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#climatechange</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/humanity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#humanity</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fascism</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/antiillectualism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#antiillectualism</a> <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#politics</a>

Lorraine LeeI think we all have to avoid some type of discurse or another as part of self care, and it's potentially a different type for each of us, and that's OK. For me it happens to be <a href="https://cambrian.social/tags/doomerism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#doomerism</a> (as well as <a href="https://cambrian.social/tags/campism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#campism</a> and a few others). During general election season, I also elect to tune out <a href="https://cambrian.social/tags/antielectorialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AntiElectorialism</a>. Anti-electoralism seems especially shrill this year. I don't think this year's conservadem is significantly more conservative than usual (and I do think the Republican candidate is much more fascistic than most), so Russian influence operations seem to me a more plausible explanation.

Uva🍉🇵🇸🍉I sometimes hear or read, the claim that doomerism is a problem (especially related to climate change). I partially agree that it is a sentiment that can lead some people to do be less engaged in making meaningfull change. But I think it is more important to be careful when claiming another person's statement is doomerism, because things that can seems like doomerism, are often the antidote of a sentiment that is a far bigger problem than doomerism, namely false hope or false optimism. What I mean by false hope, is the belief that everything is going to be alright, even without significant change to the structures that are causing the problems. An example of this is Green Growth, the belief that the best way to solve climate change is continuous economic growth (as measure by GDP), while directing the production and infrastructure to more sustainable technologies (e.i. renewable energy and electrical vehicles). Green Growth is a false hope, since it is unrealistic that maintaining the global growth based economic system can lead to a sustainable economy fast enough to limit climate change to a level that will not lead to a global economic and social colapse. Dismissing a false hope, is not that same a dismissing hope. On the contrary, what gives me hope is that more and more people is lossing hope in our current system. In order for radical change to happen, more people need to be motivate to have radical change. False hopes are what allowing people to feel save and contented with the current system, and dismiss the need for radical change. Therefore I say, let us lose false hope so the future can be hopefull. And next time see something that seems like doomerism, ask if they are lossing hope in the current system, or lossing hope in general.<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/degrowth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#degrowth</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateCrisis</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FalseHope" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FalseHope</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/doomer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#doomer</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/doomerism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#doomerism</a>

JWcph, Radicalized By DecencyYou may have noticed around here that I tend to push back against sentiments along the lines of "The Bad People™️ have all the power & everything you think you're doing to stop them only helps them" - this is why: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEnnUrYtCMA" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEnnUrYtCMA</a> This "soft defeatism" (love that wording & will be using it mercilessly) is basically a form of criti-hype & goes against the very fiber of my being. If I believed that change was impossible I literally would not be alive anymore. <a href="https://helvede.net/tags/SecondThought" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SecondThought</a> <a href="https://helvede.net/tags/Doomerism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Doomerism</a>

PandanusI have the immense good fortune of no children, no hostages to the horrors that are coming.I have no reason to lie to myself. No reason to see anything but the hard reality of a species continuing to burn its home.Clarity is overrated - it’s not a happy place, especially when I’ve spent the last couple of days with the children of my many cousins-in-law.I have no answers. No hope. But remain defiantly weeding to say “fuck you humanity!”<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ClimateCrisis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClimateCrisis</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Doomerism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Doomerism</a>
