      Doomerism is an attitude that is being pushed by fossil fuel companies to foster apathy so they can keep turning a profit.

      Don’t help them please.

      Edit: If anyone wants to see the logical conclusion of this kind of thinking, just read this exchange. I couldn’t have known when I pulled this thread how much of their ass it would show. So far they’ve called themself a “human extinctionist” and said “death to humanity” and told me to “die childless, hopefully in a climate disaster”. They haven’t commented on how this really does make them a natural ally of the fossil fuel industry. They also seem to espouse socialism, which… I don’t think they know what that means. This is just giving up with extra steps.

            Being a realist isn’t doomerism. Recognizing that climate change is happening far faster than predicted isn’t doomerism. Wanting oil executives to hang definitely isn’t part of their plan.

              The planet is correcting an imbalance.

              This is doomerism, and I don’t believe that you don’t understand that.

                I’m more of a human extinctionist than a doomer. I think humans should go extinct to save the rest of life on earth, as humanity is equivalent to a super volcano or meteor strike in terms of how many species we eradicate daily.

                  Oh okay, so your doomerism is fine because you have a fancy name for it and you actually want it to happen?

                  How fucking gullible do you think I must be to say that with a straight face. Wow.
