I’m starting to feel like having a particularly leftist environment where the most frequent message is “we’re fucked the there’s nothing we can do about it” mostly just works to prevent the people who might actually get together and do something from doing anything at all.

admittedly, i suspect most people on Lemmy who can do something already are, but yes it’s very annoying that the pervasive sentiment seems to be “everything is getting worse, nothing is getting better” as if this is serious politics
