    Actually you're only worried about Covid because you have a social anxiety disorder sweaty

    Actually you're only worried about microplastics because you read too much news

    Actually you're only worried about politics because you are too online

    Actually you're only horrified at the false reality in which you are inescapably enmeshed because you dared to raise your eyes from the material illusion towards the heavens and so met the hateful eyes of the insane demiurge that rules this prison of the flesh.

      I am less and less joking when I say /r/UpliftingNews, /r/GetMotivated, and related grindset communities are death cults that deny life itself in favor of some idealized solipsistic power fantasy.

        No argument from me. It's profound Pollyanna denialism. I hate when people scold me for just pointing out things that are actually happening. Like yeah, sure, it sucks that Global Warming is going to have horrifying nation-shattering effects now and there's no way for things to be "normal" anymore, but that's not my fault and yelling at me for pointing it out isn't going to fix anything. Nor is being "Hopeful" going to change our course. If they accepted how bad things are maybe they'd stop "Hope"ing and start sharpening their knives.

      If only CHUDs didn't beat us to the punch with the redpill, bluepill stuff. Because they are quite literally telling us to take the bluepill...because it's easier.
