    It’s not just here, it’s people in general. I find that most people are pretty pessimistic about the future or they don’t care at all. That second group is generally the group that’s not (or barely) on the internet

      And then they wonder why progress isn’t being made when they just don’t give a shit or do anything to enact change if it isn’t “good enough”. Real progress historically has been something humanity has to work for even if it involves clawing our way to a better world one painful inch at a time. This kind of pessimism is basically an excuse to pretend to care but not actually have to do anything to fix stuff because “what’s the point?” 🙄
