We all get the big sad sometimes. But you know what? Doomerism doesn't solve anything - it's a gift to the ruling class. Let's talk about that.

    I'll just go revolutionary optimize my suicide thoughts away then. I'll just go revolutionary optimize my grief away from my mom dying last year. I'll just go revolutionary optimize my dad drinking himself to death.

    It is cultivated by the acknowledgement that only through participation in the struggle to liberate the people can the lives of the people be transformed.

    Yea I don't have the means to participate right now! To cultivate such a thing! I hate this fixation on revolutionary optimism because it's ignores what getting in the way of people in participating and feels more like emotional policing or something. But it ignores why is someone a doomer? Are they depressed? Are they dealing with shit? How can those bridges be crossed? Why aren't they taking action? What are the road blocks getting in the way. And the reason I compare it to self help is because of how others like you ignore what I just said!

    Besides like, someone can be doomer and still take action. Like there were times when I was very suicidal where I managed to help some people. It's as if emotions don't have to dictate action.
