The amount of doomerism I've heard from fellow usamericn zoomers/millennials around me is starting to drive me fucking insane.

"We're all gonna die, it's hopeless, it's not worth doing anything. This is our penance as human beings/[insert other guilty identity]"

You know who you guys fucking sound like? Fucking Evangelicals.

Yeah it's fucking scary and big, I'm not trying to say it isn't. But what the fuck is your plan??? Sitting down and dying?? Are you really telling me that this world is not worth you even fucking trying?? That you're just gonna party it out until your miscellaneous end game apocalypse arrives?

This isn't the rapture. The apocalypse is a false concept. People have been living through "apocalypses" every day of their fucking lives for all of human history, especially during the past 400 years. Get up and stop the suicidal idealization of your own tragic death. Our lives in the first world are built off suffering. To lay down and say we don't have any power is to reject the duty we have as beneficiaries of that suffering.

If you are so convinced you're going to die young then die trying instead of baring your fucking throat.

#going to r/collapse pisses me off because some people are genuinely trying to do community gardens and become more self sustainable #and others are like “the third world is done for at least im safe for the time being in the first world :((((”#the “third world” isn't your fucking sacrificial lamb for climate guilt. acting like it's over for billions of people when people are tryin #to survive and innovate and prepare and help themselves is fucking selfish #and moving away from the usa may help you but everyone else is still fucking there and the us will still suck resources from everyone else #the same people who don't vote in anything and then go “oh well it was a given” when shit people get in office like babes you could've done #something about that #climate change #sorry im just pissed today. my housemate keeps saying stupid doomer shit like “hope i die before it gets too bad haha”#like we are both puerto rican don't you think our homeland is worth saving???#to be clear it doesn't have to be extreme action! its something im fighting through too #learning how to be more self sufficient outside of capitalism also conveniently means a more sustainable lifestyle!#and im not perfect at all i want to do more #but im so sick of people just accepting this shit and saying it like its a fucking joke #i get it is a coping mechanism and trust me i get sad too but like jesus christ people are eat the rich until its time to actually #think of a plan or what a survivable future might actually fucking look like and how we help each other get as close to possible.#whatv compromises we have to make until one day it's not a compromise but a goal #and yeah it might not work but i don't want to obliterate any chance of it either #what's the quote from the sophie video? “people can visualize the end of the world more then the end of capitalism”#doomerism #climate justice #gen z #generation z #millennials #climate
