In the 60's literally all realistic analysis of the future was mass starvation in the 80's-90's or nuclear war before that. Data changes and things are never as static as they seem
WTF is doomer theory and doomer practice? Not sure that's even a real thing.
I remember when COVID first started getting bad back in April and the quote on quote "doomers" on the old Chapo sub tried to tell everyone "hey, this is going to be fucking bad. We don't have a healthcare system or safety nets to deal with this. America will be swimming in infections by the summer and the death toll will get bad." Those people got yelled down and called doomers, cause few people want to actually be faced with reality.
Even on here, the reaction is still to call people doomers and the solution is usually to post about how awesome China is and they're going to save the world (big LOL at that).
What is called "doomer" stuff, usually is the only realistic analysis out there. People just don't want to be faced with reality.

The problem isn't doomer theory, it's doomer practice.

What I mean is this: what are you going to spend your time doing now that you know it's all hopeless and the world's ending?
drugs?
idk man, probably play video games while those still exist
It only works by ignoring China
Thinking China is going to single-handedly save the world from all its problems is unrealistic and fetishist.
Thinking China is going to counteract the downward direction of the imperialist west, however, is not.
