(I was going to post this as a comment on this stickied post, but it became such a rant against pessimism that I felt it deserved its own. Call it a rallying cry.)
I know the type (of people recently banned en masse). Going on and on about "the endless, perpetual now" because nothing they say gets upvoted enough, because no one wants to listen to a doomer long-term.
The type who despair despair despair.
News flash, dumbasses: DESPAIR IS WORSE THAN USELESS.
Despair actively seeks to PREVENT others from acting, by demoralizing others to the point that you're making them just fucking SIT THERE and think nothing can be done. So why act? Better to just type up demented rants for years on end, right?
By definition, you would accomplish MORE by just sitting in the corner and staring at a wall, because zero is greater than a negative number. You would accomplish nothing, and you wouldn't be actively preventing OTHERS from accomplishment, too.
You doomers are all talk, no ACTION.
You will do nothing.
You will do NOTHING.
"Hope is not a strategy?" Who says we were stopping at hope?
Q gave us hope. Hope made us DIG.
Digging made us learn more about who REALLY runs the world, and thus how we can stop them, than despairing and sitting on our asses ever could.
Despair is worse than useless. Despair is POISON to ACTION.
Keep on hoping, frens. The best is yet to come.
And nothing can stop what's coming.
Nothing.
"But--" What part of NOTHING did you not understand?
TAKE MY HIGH ENERGY! I’m SO here for this. NGL there have been some posts and folks that I’ve avoided over time because I felt that - while their thoughts/points may be valid - negative focus isn’t helping us. No one ever won hearts and minds by dooming and to wake folks up I personally found sugar gets more than salt. I get that at times we all dip in our energy and ability to keep a positive mental attitude to the ongoing shit shows we see rolling on every day. It does sometimes seem like it’s never ending. We aren’t machines, it gets difficult to maintain positivity sometimes! However I try to reflect on how far we actually have come, how much normies are now aware of, that they never were before. Personally when that happens I take a bit of time away and focus on other stuff, away from the swamp and all it’s horror. I recharge my batteries and when I next come on I feel a lot more positive. I appreciate you all frens
