Being a doomer is good and all but it doesn't accomplish anything either. I agree with your points too, and am aware that what you're proposing is boycotting, but the way you propose it is not the way, as per the video I linked.

At this point, I guess we just do what we can do and try to have ~~blind~~ optimism.

I don't really give a shit what Rossman thinks and I don't owe anyone "good activism" and especially not according to his opinion. Don't get me wrong, he's a good dude and all, I have nothing against him.

But imo, the time for "activism" has long passed, if people weren't onboard with it after the past 10 years of "activism" and things have only gotten worse I don't see much point in it. I'd rather scream into the void, harmonizing with the faint echo chorus of downvotes.

Okay, I guess. Have a great rest of your day.
