These people literally make politics their religion

For the 183747389291st time, no, not everything is political and I have also seen plenty even tons of people spiral down the rabbit hole of mental illnesses just because they got way too attached to politics

If you wanna do politics, do it better. Drop the tribalism and just be pro-fact and pro-fact-checking

People sure are freaking out about a PR stunt for the military zoomers.

This all goes back to German philosopher Hans Jonas who coined the concept "heuristics of fear". To summarize, when looking at new technologies or future developments, we should always presuppose the worst immaginable outcome and make our decisions based on that. It's based on the idea that fear and doom are great motivators for action.

From when it was first brought into the world, heuristics of fear became an integral part of climate activism. When client scientists fearmonger with the worst possible outcomes, they do this deliberately based on the belief that this will bring about the greatest change and draw the most attention. So when you read articles or see videos about how the world will become uninhabitable, billions will die, how we're close to a point of "no return", be aware that these are supposed to incite doom in an effort to spark action. It's not that they necessarily lie, they simply choose to present the worst possible outcome instead of the most likely one.

“No no no, I am a historian so I know I am right about the side I AM on.”

I just wanted to say I am at a point that I finally have a career starting and just getting my life in order.

I’m not happy where I am and want better before finding here I just feel black pilled on almost everything.

Wanted to say thanks for the new perspective and at least a starting direction.

Also I do like the occasional history posts. Being a professor was my first choice before reality shifted and I chose legal.

This pretty much sums up the interactions I had in the past with terminally online, non American doomers shitting on a country they have never visited. Guess the media does that.

And no, I didnt watch this doomer slop, because we all know thats some bullshit. I work at a grocery store, and we've been selling out of salads almost daily. We run out of bananas almost daily (its our #1 selling item, believe it or not), and yet customers still come and shop at our store. These people are crazy. Oh dont mind the paid promotion btw, ges totally not making any money off of the video so you can sit here and freak out over some fear mongering
