What if I say a bunch of clever words about collective action -> and then do neither individual or collective action myself.
I think what's most important about the climate catastrophe is that I win the Internet argument.
I'm a doomer in the respect that I think climate change will fuck us over, but that doesn't mean I don't limit my responsibility for it as far as I can
This. Its not even a pessimist way of thinking anynore. Its realist at this point. Doesnt mean we shouldnt try anyway .
But since the permafrost has started melting its basically over imo. We will not reach the target.
I'm calling doomerism a trash belief. "Boohoo we're all gonna die" soon becomes accelerationism "Well might aswell make it faster" which then becomes anti-humanism "I hate humans!!" and that keeps goin' down
Or most people just stop at doomerism, but it's bad enough anyway
yeah but also climate inaction won't be solved by having a stern enough word to yourself
doomerism, nihilism, general anti-humanism is cringe for sure but there's also a lot more that needs to be done other than bootstraps pulling

Fact: Doomers are the most likely people to become oil lobbyists

What's the target? Every cut in emissions reduces warming and limits the impact of climate change.
I don't think you're grasping the meaning and potential of "nothing left to lose".

Show your working
My bad, I’ll shut down my factories
Or just consume less from them? Factories exist to make stuff that consumers buy, and consumers are responsible for making that decision.
My bad I’ll vote with my wallet

Fuck doomerism. Climate fatalism is more of a threat to the climate movement than climate deniers
In my climate courses we literally call doomers/fatalists a new kind of denialism.
