Leftism, anxiety 

I hate when I am reading a reasonable leftist take and then it quickly and without warning swings deeply into anxiety inducing discussions on things like climate change.

My trauma makes that hard to deal with and I have optimism that we will find a solution.

I wish, similar to what Contra said, that there was a more positive and optimistic leftism instead of one which consistently tells people to just not do things.

The Chelsea Manning refrain of "We got this" is the most hopeful thing along those lines and a bunch of leftists tore her down for doing a thing one time.

@makyo @itsnero Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone in these thoughts. :)

@xurnami absolutely feel you on this one and I feel like I should contribute more to this on a personal level
