People who think any kind of small utterance of optimism about the climate crisis (or any hot-button topic) is a problem.
I expressed a slight excitement about wind and solar energy. China is making huge investments, and leading the field, making solar cells cheaper than ever, and building gigantic parks of solar arrays all over the country. Britain just closed its last coal power plant. And so on. Good news, right? A cause for optimism?
WRONG (points finger angrily)!!! That is TECH OPTIMISM, GREEN WASHING and GOVERNMENTAL AGENDA designed to LULL YOU TO SLEEP and not ACT! SILENCE IS VIOLENCE and (gets punched)
Living in constant anxiety about the future, seeing nothing but doom and gloom, and never have any cause for optimism, is the answer to our problems. Optimism is weakness. Optimism is what they want. You're walking right into their trap.
