I read a comment on some political video, which was basically this idea, so I drew some crappy figures.

It might. Remember to have hope and stay strong. Who does it benefit for you to feel defeated? There's a clear answer to who will benefit.

Oh, things will get worse... We haven't actually felt hardly any of the effects. When someone loses their job, it sucks, but it's not actually that bad until they're getting evicted or can't buy food. Cutting public health and research isn't bad until we have the next pandemic. Cutting all these government subsidies isn't that bad until the farmers go under and we can't find healthy food

I don't see that as defeatism, I see it as the working class is about to be very, very angry about the same things at the same time, and that means opportunity for change

Lemmy loves to play to the negatives in everything. At this point I think it’s propaganda.

Just a friendly reminder to take a break when the news are getting too overwhelming.

The unknown is always scary. The known tends to be less so.

it’s not pessimism when it’s simple fact

It's pessimism when you use it as an excuse to do nothing about it.

[–] baines@lemmy.cafe 1 points 8 hours ago

depends if there is something you can actually do

Kids these days don't know how good they have it! It's going to be so much worse
