Whatever It Is, I’m Against It

They've got all the answers, as long as nobody asks them to actually do anything. Every policy that doesn't match their utopian wet dream gets branded as a "betrayal of true progressive values."

Once again a winner from @Daojoan:

By maintaining a position on the far left of the political spectrum - no matter what that is - Peripheral Progressives can claim a purity of ideology uncompromised by the realities of governance. They can point to anyone who falls short of their ideal and declare them “Simps for the War Machine.” It’s a position allows them to play the perpetual critic, never risking the possibility of being wrong because they never have to prove their ideas right.

They're the political equivalent of that one friend who's always into fringe music and hates any artist who goes viral. They've got all the answers, as long as nobody asks them to actually do anything. Every policy that doesn't match their utopian wet dream gets branded as a "betrayal of true progressive values."
I've had all I can stomach of the purity race—in politics, in tech, in every corner of modern life. If you'd rather be ideologically pure in some weird idealized universe that can't exist than pitch in and help real people, just stay out of the way.

American Suburbs Are a Horror Movie and We’re the Protagonists

Walking alone to the grocery store is, for me, like walking through a creepy hallway at night. Why? Because America is filled with liminal spaces.

In the Developing Field of Climate Psychology, ‘Eco-Anxiety’ Is a Rational Response - Inside Climate News

insideclimatenews.org · Jul 26

Some therapists have found that cognitive behavioral therapy, designed to help patients see that they are “catastrophizing,” isn’t enough because the potential impacts of climate change are truly catastrophic.

Does worrying about climate and environmental breakdown keep you awake at night? Does thinking about the catastrophic consequences of societal collapse leave you feeling stressed and worn out?

If so, you're not alone. Many of us have had that reaction. It's quite normal. In fact, it's a healthy, rational response to the terrifying future we all face.

As bad as things are now, if you're not worried, that means you're not paying attention.
________________________

Leslie Davenport, a practicing therapist based in Tacoma, Washington, and a leading voice in the developing field of climate psychology, says eco-anxiety is a “completely natural response” to climate change.

Psychologist Anna Graybeal, from Austin, Texas, reports that when new clients are hesitant to talk with her, often it turns out “they had a previous therapist who just basically told them, ‘you’re catastrophizing. This isn’t that bad, you’re just overreacting,’” says Graybeal. “And that’s ridiculous. The person is not catastrophizing. It really is that bad.”
