Making yourself feel good enough to ignore the shithole our society has become doesn’t fix anything. Denying reality is foolish as fuck and actively makes it worse.
When literally every expert and every shred of credible evidence agrees that it’s hopeless, pretending it isn’t hopeless is just going to leave you unprepared, and you’ll end among the first of the dead when the collapse happens and leads to long term global famine.
It takes an incredibly childish and naive view of the world to believe that the entire world is going to suddenly come together to meaningfully reduce emissions in the forseeable future. That’s very literally the only possible solution, and it cannot possibly happen.
Prepare for the worst and hope for the best are not mutually exclusive.
Even if they were, I’d rather live with hope for a shorter time than “live” without hope for a longer time.
Also, since the whole issue of emissions comes from production of resources, how do you think gathering resources to outlast a global famine is going to affect that?
No one is denying anything. It’s just a question of whether you get up to fight or give up and die. That’s the part that’s in your power, and taking care of your body is the first step toward getting up to fight.
bet a month’s rent anon doesn’t exercise and their sleep is fucked. I was this doomy too, before I fixed my shit.

Being a doomer doesn’t fix anything. Telling people it’s all hopeless is foolish and actively makes it worse.

No, it’s really just “be the change you want to see.”
Wish “the world” worked? Start with your own life.

I’m a string bean on Lemmy at 4am and I have a better outlook than anon
