TBH, it has genuinely often felt like that’s how the perpetual Schleprocks and Eeyores seem to think when engaging them in discourse; it’s like they actively want the worst to happen, just so they can be ‘proven correct.’
I would agree, were it not so ceaseless and unrelenting on the part of some folks. That’s not just ‘being pragmatic’ or “a realist” - it’s defeatist and it often quickly turns into energy leeching.
Fuck that noise.
And the hell of it is that I’m no ‘Pollyanna,’ my damn self;
I’m naturally cynical, so finding myself playing the role of ‘cheerleader’ in the face of all the fuckery is one of the more bizarre aspects of living in this twisted ass timeline.
