Acknowledging the hard truths and preparing for them is how you make sure you don't get fucked in the end. It's not being 'black pilled' being black pilled or demoralised. We're more like the space marines of 40k who simply understand the times we live in and that we're surrounded on all sides by people who want our destruction. If you haven't accepted that then you've already lost and they'll dance around you like nothing.
In the words of Chesty Puller at the Battle of the Chosin Reservoir:
Staff Officer: "Sir, the Chinese have us surrounded."
Chesty: "Good, now we can attack in any direction we want."
He did exactly that, and successfully extricated entire Marine units safely out of North Korea, by attacking through his retreat. Even in defeat, demoralization is not acceptable.

I agree, but that's a whole different thing.
