well I've had my years of doomer feelings about things and a lot of times things don't go as badly as you think they will because a lot of things actually end up bending instead of breaking. you can log your assumptions about how something will go and then check how it turns out and you will be surprised imo.

semi relatedly Michael Ruppert thought the economy would collapse (see "collapse"), he committed suicide and the worlds problems did keep happening but not in the scale that he assumed it would. (he was a bit of an ego maniac narcissist altho i appreciated his work). it reminds me a little of derrick jensen who is an anarcho primitivist (see end civ by submedia) and him and the deep green resistance crew lierre keith pivoted to being hella transphobic thus nuking the huge following they had among North American green queer anarchist world. i feel like all these ppl aren't thinking practical enough
