it’s not “giving up” to recognize how awful the future is shaping up to be.

how many times do i have to say this? shit doesn’t happen until it fucking happens

imagine if you are a russian in 1941. you know how bad things are going to be if the germans win.

you should take that as a fucking motivator to change things, to make it so that that worst-case scenario isn’t going to happen, to continue fighting, not fucking take that as a cue to just lay down your arms and partake in doomerism, savoring the flavor of horror and bathing in breath of utter helplessness. no. to do that is to ensure that the worst-case scenario is going to happen.

defeatism is a self-fulfilling prophecy. OP’s title is encouraging defeatism.
