I’m convinced most of the accounts accusing people of being “doomers” are astroturfers trying to gaslight people into complacency.

Being a doomer makes you complacent though?

If you think we're doomed, (like I kind of do) you lose motivation to do anything.

I don't want to be a fucking doomer I want people to convince me to stop being one and no one seems able.

You have to use the doom & gloom to motivate you into action. It’s a useful piece to differentiate between performative and productive actions.
