The real problem here is the hopium merchants. Anyone who knows the plan knows that things are going to get far worse before they get better. The hopium merchants are setting expectations for something that's outside of the plan. To me, that's far more insidious than someone who feels temporarily demoralized, likely because of these opium merchants. Furthermore, doomer is far too overused here. Yesterday someone called out cat turd as a doomer because he said the economy's going to be getting worse. News flash? That's pretty much what q is saying. So, is q also dooming?
I think the problem is both. NOBODY in the public here KNOWS the plan, we make conjecture on what we think might happen. Neither doomer nor hopium merchant knows what the actual fuck will happen.
It's a safe assumption to make and prepare for things getting worse that's just a smart thing to do. But no one knows how bad? How long? Or when it will get really bad or even if it will. Anyone pretending they do know is full of shit.
Hopium merchants share a lot of the responsibility for the whiplash. This is why you cannot force people to feel certain ways. You can't will something into existence, and suppress it if they don't agree with you or your assessments.
The people who weren't listening when people like me were trying to tell them to temper expectations also have a responsibility though.
Last night there was a dude who I swear could not have been organic in that general thread, but no handshake. He went from all in hype for Trump to "I'm done, I'm out, I'm deleting my account"
And if that person was organic, then holy Batman ballsack that's why people need to be more realistic and skeptical instead of blindly optimistic.
I agree. I imagine people aren't thrilled with me right now, because I've called out all sides. The leavers, the people with blind hopium, the mods, everyone. The only one I haven't called out is Trump, because I knew what the announcement was going to be. It was obvious and it was also leaked ahead of time.

Agree, no body here knows the plan, but any anon knows that things are going to get worse before it gets better.
