From all the concern trolling I see in the other instances it's clear that there's no winning over these people. Everything is "Kremlin propaganda" to them. I do think a lot of chapos did go a little overboard with the PPB, but even thoughtful responses were met with the "hateful rhetoric" and "Kremlin talking points" BS. As always, it is to the Global South we must look to for any hope in the future...

Honestly I am completely doomer about the future and I've not seen a single thing to convince me otherwise. I know it's not fashionable to say because everyone likes to have a bit of hope but honestly I fundamentally do not believe we can make the changes necessary before climate change fucks up everything. Just look at what the average Brit or American is like politically. Just look at what happened when even a democratic socialist running on a social democratic platform (Sanders and, even more so, Jeremy Corbyn) becomes politically prominent.

I am desperate for some hope in this world but I find very little.
