“a better future isn’t possible” is explicitly a right wing view and everyone needs to do a better job rejecting it for themselves and drumming it out of younger people

IME every time I bring this up with young/young-ish people I get some variation on “lol I won’t live that long climate change will take me out before I’m 50” & it’s yet another example of how blackpilling throws sand in the gears of even trying to get anything done now.

It's sad that there're so many people who want to make it suck more, but it's frustrating that there're even more who don't believe that it can get better with even a little effort.

I am not in it for FALGSC Cockaignes, but the cold, hardheaded conclusion that either capitalism dies or humanity does.
tl;dr I agree with you :D
It's a core, foundational belief to my sense of self
Because if I don't have that, then......what is there?
The swirling abyss of nothing?
It's terrifying.
So I reject it, no matter what.
So I refuse. I just will not.
There is always something we can do to make things better. What else are we supposed to do? Not try??

The myth that “It has always been like this…” no longer rings true for any generation that accepts evidence-based science.
We have breached 6 of 9 #PlanetaryBoundaries required for humanity to thrive.
We are living in #EcologicalOvershoot and the #GreatAcceleration.
But that’s not the same as dismissing the chances of a better future.
