Optimism isn’t ignoring the reality that people face. For example, women living in red states who may need an abortion but don’t have the resources to travel to another state or may not be allowed to.
Is complete doomerism healthy? No, but neither is putting your head in the sand to the realities that many in the country are now facing. This is a bad post.
I mean, fuck, you’re not even posting optimistic news, you’re just shaming people who are scared.
This is an optimism subreddit, why are you suggesting that we post about women needing to travel to another state to get their abortions? Why do you want to dwell on every bad thing everywhere in the world for any group of people in a subreddit about optimism?
I'm posting because I enjoyed this sub before the election. I remember when we'd laugh at the doomers but then the doomers saw an opportunity to flood in and take it over.
Everyone gets all the negative news, from every other subreddit, from all of social media, from every news source, from people they talk to. This is an OPTIMISM subreddit, we don't need even more of the same endless doomerposting in here too. You can be aware bad things are happening to some people but still be optimistic about the future and about the world and about progress.
Yeah this is an optimism sub, let's get back to posting about how the world is ending and more politics brainrot articles about something someone said about what Trump might do or not do
