I don’t buy this narrative. We’re only doomed if you just accept we are.

People manage! They have before, they will this time. Discouraging them doesn’t help. If that’s all you’re willing to do, better just don’t.

Ignore history at your own peril

We are seeing the decline in real time, the documentary from time travlers in idiocracy clearly outlines our future.

It certainly feels this way sometimes, but I'm hard headed. I know that's exactly how the powerful want us to feel. They want us to give up so they can continue to drain the lifeblood out of civilization freely and without much criticism. It's been this way for decades because we keep voting the same people in. We have to politically revolt and actively vote out the incumbents every time.
