Doom and hopelessness are weirdly seductive because 1) they offer the certainty people are craving and 2) they absolve you from having to do anything - why fight if the outcome is inevitable right? Plus doom requires the least amount of imagination.

Protect your peace by at least muting doomers.

“Now, there's this about cynicism, Sergeant. It's the universe's most supine moral position. Real comfortable. If nothing can be done, then you're not some kind of shit for not doing it, and you can lie there and stink to yourself in perfect peace.”

The funny thing about the biggest “political cynics” the last few years is they generally tend to be way more gullible wrt propaganda things certain influencers tell them.
