The rise of doomers, preppers, and antinatalists on the Left reveals something deeper than the hollow posture of rebellion: a collapse of belief in tomorrow. A Left that chants “No future” isn’t just demoralized — it’s unserious, misanthropic, and bound to lose.
Tldr: How do you inspire people to work for a better tomorrow if you don’t believe tomorrow can be better? Trump and the American right have a vision of a future America that they claim will be great and glorious. The American left - and the global left - have lost sight of the future entirely. Instead of promising a bright future, they merely seek to endure the crises of the present - and some on the left have given up even that.
The article speaks to the desperate need for hope - for a clear, compelling, leftist vision of the future to serve as a guiding light for left-wing activists and politicians.
And hey, what political slash environmental slash aesthetic movement focused on a hopeful future just got its instance back up?
(Welcome back, everybody!)
Hopeless: Having no possibility of being solved or dealt with; impossible.
There is more than one definition of most words - particularly on a personal level, which is where many disputes come from, particularly online, where some people apparently can’t see that you are making a passing, light-hearted comment.
Then again, maybe the clue is in the name and I should just block.
If that’s how you want to be, then I’ll do you a favor and solve your dilemma for you.
Bye!
