Nope, being a doomer makes you look dumb and people dismiss your whole message when your overblown predictions don’t come true.

Think about the illegal immigration hawks talking about how people will cross the borders and start raping and pillaging everything in their path. When that of course turns out to be false, people dismiss their position entirely rather than look at actual issues.
