definitely the most annoying thing about this current era is the defeatism. so many people love to argue why there's no point like that's not a suicidal view. now is exactly the right time to be setting things into motion - you have nothing to lose, and people are looking for anything to grasp onto - ThreadSky

There's certainly some tactics that are likely deadends and refocusing on something else is not a bad idea, but also there's literally millions of people who could all do different stuff. The important thing is to not get in each other's ways.

It's like people who loudly proclaim they don't care

We don't care you don't care. If you don't care shut up

agree. if you're in yolo mode already, why not go out kicking and screaming fighting for what you believe in

i think we're in a stronger position than people think anyway. not that that should take away from the urgency. but damn so many people are making so many decisions to give up prematurely for no good reason.

certainty is one of the absolute worst things you can have. it's a sickness. history never repeats itself 1-to-1 and there are as many differences as there are similarities to those disaster scenarios so many people are envisioning being inevitable at this point. it's ignorance to think otherwise

Certainty is a self-fulfilling prophecy that locks you into a single binary win/lose mindset. Uncertainty is terrifying, but it’s the only way to envision new avenues and adapt to new developments. Stay agnostic to projected futures and build ‘em yourself.

there are so many blaring signs that the people in power are weak and scoring own goals constantly right now anyway. you really have to have already decided you're going to give up to not see that. in which case, do yourself a favor and don't put that in front of me.

Weak and insecure. Elon spent months pretending to be good at a video game and got super mad when people called him out... They’re not exactly playing 4d chess here.

Doomerism is, at best, self-indulgent.

They're a playbook, folks. Let's work it

Yeah, people really need to grow a spine, even if the odds are stacked against us. ARs may not stop tanks, but molotovs can. Fatalism will get us nowhere, and the ones who determine the future will be the ones who overcame fatalism and doomerism.
