"I would do something, but instead I'll do nothing and complain"

people that primarily consume “reality” TV, aren’t “political, teehee,” couldn’t point to the middle east on a map with a gun to their head, and are habitually bubbly and optimistic about any topic despite living in this world are the ones tuned out living in blissful willful ignorance.

They're not hopeful about climate change, they're ignorant of it. That's not the same thing.

Doomers aren' t burdened with knowledge, doomers are a burden on everyone else with knowledge who knows that this could be fixed if people acted.

There is literally zero benefit to climate doomerism.

Because the alternative is to become a pessimistic doomer and tune out pretending it's all hopeless?
