I understand the point you're goin for but lemme humbly say this is a read the room scenario 💚

this point will still be makeable when it's not trying to put a positive spin on the crashout we're witnessing from OP imo

the other replier blocked me so idk what she(?, i forget the account name) was saying, but i really don't think it's a "positive spin", it's like, a pedagogically appropriate way of responding to your kids. i fully understand the suffering and pain, i feel it too. i hate reading this news everyday

that topic/thought alone is fine; it's a spin relative to who and how that topic was raised and why we're discussing it, imo.

I hate it too. and like I said, I do see your point. but when the topic is fatalism (literally), and it's raised in a "don't be like that" way, it's too touchy to cosign imo

iow, to make that argument as if to say "the above person is right," when the above person said shit that's wild — unless you say they're wrong about that whole shit — is a spin in their favor, even if you're only trying to highlight the bit you agree with, is my way of thinkin 💚🥰
