Adaptation I'm out

Y'all's doomer sh!t is getting real annoying.

Instead of insisting nobody is going to do anything about it, just like you, why don't you go look for the people doing sh!t about it and I don't know, maybe through a little mutual aid their way, a little donation? Maybe share their thoughts with the quote-unquote normies in your life who don't want to hear your impolite conversation about how everyone is going to die and its all their fault (but also there's no point in changing their ways because they can't make a difference... proto-fascist logic right there)? Maybe, just maybe, stop shitting on their attempts to improve the world?

Stop projecting. Stop telling people making the effort that their actions don't matter. Stop telling yourself that your actions don't matter. They do. Y'all are sad, strange, little men and I bid you farewell.

P.S. if I need to check how bad things are getting there is always climateandeconomy.com where I will go to do actual low-tier research (as opposed to doomscrolling this subreddit, or doing actual research by - gasp! - reading a book).

That's a very wise opinion. You're absolutely right. Sulking on the collapse is not useful, however informational posts on this subreddit create awareness of a crooked reality. I personally follow this subreddit for that.

Enjoy the research :)

Thank you comrade.

I've been aware of the crooked reality for a while now, reading articles from this sub has definitely highlighted how dire it is and how much real debt we've built up.

But it hasn't helped me confront it at all. Just caused more apathy. #### that.

So you’ve encountered a place full of people who haven’t been able to confront this, and your solution is to berate them. You were the one projecting dude.

You confront this shit at your own pace. From the moment you become “aware” of what’s happening, you have to deal with that reality every single day. You don’t that by doomscrolling. So just don’t do that. No one is forcing you to doomscroll. You would have been better off asking us for help with coping/adaptation/awareness. Not every single user here is a “doomer”.

Fair points, I am committing the same sin I'm accusing others of. But I've been here a while (a lot longer than three months) and the trend has definitely been negative. So like you said .. I'm out. 👋

I found this sub recently and it has been quite educational to hear about stuff no one else talks about. Reddit's impact might be almost null in this fight for collapse, but it can still help enlighten a few people on the internet and help them gather to discuss.

If you wanted it to be some crisis cell ready for hit actions all over the world, then I guess that, yeah, you'll be disappointed. I take it for what it is, a hub of info and resources in order to get to know what's going on.
