World view / "Pol" I guess
Recently got publicly chastised and penalized on a forum I frequent for "Nihilistic Doomsaying" in response to my supposition that our current political climate isn't going to improve. I'm not particularly rankled about that - It's well within rights - But I am disturbed at the trend I see.
I see it around here a lot too.
The "Everything is going to turn out fine" mentality. The "It's not as bad as you think" mentality. The "We just need to vote" mentality.
You know, pretending that there aren't child concentration camps happening, or people calling for the extermination of the oppressed.
And while you're all pretending about that, there's arguments raging about how you can't call a bigot a bigot because that's hateful, and how you can't demonitize them on YouTube because an infringement of their speech.
Jesus fuck, no wonder evil's winning. Good thing they pay well.
World view / "Pol" I guess
@Phorm The two aren't really related, I think. You can acknowledge those are a thing without doomsaying. If anyone is telling you things are guaranteed to be fine they're wrong; that doesn't mean things are guaranteed to be horrible either.
Also this is where I repeat myself that a good chunk of the "don't call a bigot a bigot" thing is just them trying to "why I never" the situation. Ignorable.
