Spreading despair is worse than doing nothing. I even ended up skipping Salty the other night because the first fifteen minutes was full of so much doombitching over the debt deal that it was killing the motivation that I needed for my workout that I was starting.
Some people mean well but it's a line to straddle between getting people riled to to snap them out of their stupor vs causing people who already are aware to doom out and blackpill. Sometimes they go to far in that direction and I have to take a break, especially if it's something that has already been discussed to death everywhere else when there are other topics to cover. I remember one night where chat basically just started yelling at Salty to change topics as most were sick of hearing about it as well.
There have been times when I could catch up with the news while getting in some sets and channel the anger into my lifts but that night just wasn't feeling it, switched to the DOOM Eternal soundtrack so that I could lift and curl until it was done.
Doomers bore me to the point of yawns.
