Its an attitude that gets on my nerves as well. A few days ago I posed a video from a historian outline his view of trends for the 21st century going by actual data and historical trends (rather than just taking 1 point and running it unchanging for 100 years), where he outline that the 2020's and 2030's will be outlined by instability (especially in the 3rd world), but we will end the century in a much better place.
All I got was people saying "No, hes wrong. We are all screwed. Its all over but the crying. No, I am not going to acknowledge his data. I just want to be a doomer."
I think there are a lot of people on the internet who have been staring into the abyss for too long and have started to let it get to them, and maybe what they need to do is take some time off and go do something different. Because whenever I go outside, the world is not nearly as dystopian as the internet makes it look. (then again, I live in a small town in a rural state)
