All information is a warning of the future. For me the essence of doomerism in the way I see it is a subjective challenge for everyone to truly answer that question in their own mind and heart. And the answer reveals to themselves who they are and where they fall on their commitment and understanding of whatever topic is at hand. The climate crisis is particularly dear to my heart because in a way it paints the perfect picture of what happens when you try to silver line everything with so many variables and so many uncomfortable truths about the way we, humanity (and in my case Americans,) live their lives and want to live their lives. When you face the bleak reality of the collosel trajectory of our environment it is inherently a losing battle. But then the question becomes how can you help. Instead of I will let other handle it for me.

It’s also important to the conversation because it transcends races, creeds, nationalities, political ideology and leaves you stark naked as an idvidual juxtaposed against an infinite monolith of human greed. You are set, almost in a spiritual way, alone with the world as it is and then you get to make a choice. You can take the good with the bad and sysnthazie it or you can do what the other poster is on and bury yourself in your echo chamber and cover your ears and eyes and melt your brain.

In itself doomerism is the reaction to the status quo and the rejection of all the data by the public of things that doom us, it is embracing hope for the best and expect the worst. It’s a critical look at what scientists who are not funded by corporations like nestle or political interests who have a monetary stake in kicking the can down the road.

To me doomerism especially critical doomerism is invigorating because it seems to me that that is where the critical thinking happens as opposed to the we can fix everything and keep everything as it is mentality. That’s not going to work.

It’s like I tell people. Trump had allowed me to put the climate crisis in the back of my mind as an existential threat because he is an eminent existential threat. And still does. But it’s still out there and working and creating chaos and want and deaths and will just keep getting exponentially worse until the earth decides for us, which it really already has.

It’s like the last act of a Christmas carol and we are all coming face to face with the ghost of Christmas future but instead of heading the warnings like scrooge we turn and say there is more gravy than the grave. If only the dead could speak.

Tl;dr: I read and try my best to make sure I am understanding the topic. I speak and hope that people will take away a different perspective and do not expect to be lauded for it, and I dream and hope that people will be able to see the world for what it is not what they want it to be. People call me a doomer all the time. But if you are following the science and following the news you might just find yourself thinking critically about the status quo conclusions. We cannot have infinite growth in a finite system. We must do the very thing that has saved humanity for its entire run. We must adapt or perish. And at this point where are firmly still on the side of balequething the children of the world nothing but drought hunger and bloodshed. Take it as you will. Doomer and pragmatist, don’t really see a difference. You can’t change shit if you don’t know what you’re up against.

Edit: oh wait you are the same turd who just accused me of not voting. Piss up a rope pal.
