I'm kind of tired of this "acceptance" of loss. Like, I get it, I don't think it's incorrect. It's just at a certain point I think it becomes a means of a collective justification for inaction. In the same way that this fake shit from Newsom serves the same purpose of inaction.
It feels like the peasants of feudalism just accepting that their share of crop is getting reduced. "Welp, guess we'll just eat less this winter. Hope Timmy survives the cold".
I guess I'm looking for this same comment but with rage and anger. The passive doomerism needs to go. Us peasants need to be talking about the best methods for sharpening our pitchforks with every inch of crop they take from us.
At the end up the day. This "truth" is only true for as long as we allow it to be. We should remember that and repeat that truth with every inch they take.
Let me know how that works out for you. Cheers.
I'm not talking about adventurism you twat. I'm not even talking about collective action. I'm talking about showing some emotion and anger at the very fucking least.
This passive acceptance and doomerism is so fucking boring. If you're not going to at least be outraged can people like you just shut the fuck up?
You're literally respond with the same peasant brained acceptance. No one's impressed with your apathy. It doesn't make you look smart. It makes you look like a coward.
But go ahead. Give me another apathetic one line response. Good luck with it.
The anger will just increase stress and increase the risk of long-term health issues that you'll ALSO have to pay for out of pocket.
You are simply not allowed to win on any transaction EVER.
Not being able to control anger is definitely bad for health. Letting out anger at things that should make you angry. That's just human and healthy.
