And somewhat ironically, the “our species can still turn it around! live in hope!” types are the same ones deadset against revolution to force those living large off destroying the planet to stop in a physical way.

I feel like it's the other way around. I feel like it's my people who are out there getting arrested and making fossil fuel execs upgrade their security detail, and it's the doomers who seem to complain endlessly about how much they hate the taste of shoe leather while somehow spending the most time down there.

Hey, before I accepted there was no hope, I was pushing for such things. I'm far from special in that. Inside every cynic is a disappointed idealist.

And if there were a serious movement that was advocating doing more than peacefully protesting a cow statue on Wall Street as the planet and species enemies laughed out their windows above them, I'll be there with bells on, as I imagine most current doomers would.

But the sun will sooner set in the east, and doing such things alone is just suicide with extra steps and just as helpful.
