    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.
