Asking the solution to doomerism is asking the question backward. Doomerism is a rational response to the rich and powerful steering civilization directly into climate catastrophe. Oil companies have known for at least 60 years that they were negatively affecting the climate, but there’s been a bipartisan project to not only shield them from accountability, but to actively empower them to continue the destruction. All of the most powerful state apparatuses in the world serve the same death cult.
If you want to stop doomerism, you should become a green socialist. Tear down the power structures that suppress green alternatives. Oppose oil lines, oppose AI data centers, shut down the corporations, the governments, the shills. Stop letting them steer the ship toward destruction.
The solution to that “can’t find love” feeling is more complex, but it’s equally as tied up in the current state of global capitalism. Basically every major government has spent the last fifty years trying to squeeze people as much as possible to the point that everything’s expensive and nothing works. We’re all alienated, we all have various traumas handed down to us by our boomer parents and no real way to heal from them that’s not reliant on others. Our communities have been destroyed over and over again because community stands in the way of capital.
Destroying capitalism probably won’t fix the entrenched ideologies that keep us miserable, but we can’t start trying to fix the entrenched ideologies until we destroy capitalism.
