      YES YES YES! it is maddeningly frustrating to see this shit. The biggest doomers I have ever met weren’t people living in slums, victims of facist torture during the civil war, or even victims of genocide among the indigenous population. No the biggest doomers have been people living in wealthy NATO countries talking about how they’re powerless and the world is ending.

      Even the Trump shit is kind of annoying. It’s like Americans want to live in a real dictatorship. I spent my early years living in one and still have ptsd issues from it. This doomer shit is unproductive and obnoxious. We may be getting hurt more by climate change and political/economic instability but at least we’re better prepared to weather the storm.

        Handmaid’s Tale is a prime example of the cracker brain. “Oh no! A fascist, theocratic dictatorship is going to force women to give birth and then steal the children!” and I’m like “Motherfucker that’s already been done in the US to black and Native American women, complete with the religious aspect.”

        They’re afraid of what Whitey has done to other people all over the world for centuries being done to other white people. Liberals are willfully ignorant about their country’s history. Conservatives have a larger persecution fetish than liberals and want to LARP as the American Revolution so they can kill people they don’t like.

        Not to mention, places in the Imperial Core are all relatively safe. Americans are so easily startled by their own shadows. They act like they live in a place where people just disappear because they got nabbed by criminal organizations. Or where you can’t walk outside at night because there’s so many robberies and homicides. Very few places in the US are genuinely dangerous and they sure as shit aren’t some suburb in Idaho. You should be more worried about alligators in Florida than violent crime.

        Its a reactionary and misanthropic attitude. With the way they talk, you’d think capitalism reigned since time immemoriam, or that the cuban, russian, chinese, vietnamese, and haitian revolutions never happened in that span of time.

        Seeing a white western spout nihilistic nonsense is as embarrassing as watching a high school adolescent enter an edgelord phase

        Che had 340 fighters to tackle an enemy force ten times larger and supported by tanks and air power.

        She was shocked by how “dirty and messed-up” the guerrillas looked. Her father, who was standing next to her, muttered incredulously: “These guys are planning to take Santa Clara?” Then Lolita spotted Che, and she was struck both by how young he looked and by his air of authority. This impression was bolstered when one of his men, his face a battle-weary mask, asked her how many soldiers were in the city. When she told him “about five thousand,” he nodded and said, “Good, with our jefe that’s no problem.”

        From Jon Anderson’s “Che Guevara: A Revolutionary Life”

      I mean the world is going to shit lets not kid ourselves here. Thats not the funny part. The funny part is this idea that they can vote their way out of it. That they can maintain this lifestyle while picking on the bones and exploiting us in the third world. That their lifestyle to keep this air of superiority with is largely responsible. A lot of shit they’re scared of they been doing to us. Difference is they tell us to be thankful for it and get shocked people like the Palestinians fight back
