I see this on social media at times as well, but not as concentrated as here. It feels almost pointless at times to discuss politics with doomers because it’s the same variation of “everything is hopeless.” It’s nothing new to hear and it offers no solutions. The world I’d hate to live in would be one where everyone doomed at all times. Dooming doesn’t encourage action and typically involves waiting for someone or something else to solve the problems for them. Additionally, it’s demoralizing against anyone that does at least want to try something.
Working in Politics, I've gone through the cycle of believing in the ability to change things, to understanding the inner workings of the political system.
Political discourse feels like it's embedded in everything these days,
because it is. It's not downstream from culture anymore,
it is culture.
That being said, you very much only have the illusion of choice, lest you start a war.
Americans kept the right to have guns, in order to fight against a corrupt and unjust government. What the maker's of that stipulation didn't bank on, was the absolute monster power shift the world has undergone since WW2.
There is zero option to fight back against the US Government. I don't think people on the outside of politics really understand just how all powerful they are.
The illusion of choice, the illusion of power to the people is just that - it's illusion. The people who have the power in the U.S and moreover the world, aren't the front men they put out on the stumping trail. It's the people you don't see that hold the power.
When that centralized power holds all of the checks and balances in their deck, how do you fight against them? If you launch a legal fight, it's their judges you're being judged by. Merits need not apply.
Look how they reacted over Trump and Trump's picks for SCOTUS. Look how easily they were intimidated.
Who do you go to for justice when the justice is in the hands of the people you're fighting against?
You can't fight them. As Joe Biden said - public doesn't have F15s. So a civil war - whilst warranted, is impossible.
Most just tacitly accept this fate. Others go along to get along. Others don't want to know.
In reality, there is no partisanship. There is you, the people regardless of your beliefs or political leanings and the small class of people who hold all of the power.
Currently the wind is blowing in favor of those who align to the left. At the end of the day, they'll be spat out and disregarded just like everyone else.
Those who hold the power don't care about trans rights, niggers etc
The power is in the dissolution of societal mores and norms, division of the bonds that keep us strong and functioning and together.
It's not dooming to acknowledge this.
The real pushback is not going to be in voting. It will be in maintaining a sense of social order through community, church, traditions and being able to freely say you don't agree with it. That's truthfully the only path that is workable at this stage.
