In reply to the discussion: Fed up with the negativity [View all]EYESORE 9001
(25,908 posts)but the negativity does grow tiresome. For example, any thread involving indictments of rump or other insurrectionists is invariably met with moans of apathy that nothing will come of it. Its hardly the only topic that brings out the naysayers, however. Its like having a Borg loudspeaker in our midst insisting that resistance is futile.
Its almost as though the pessimists have a goal of fucking with everyone elses mental AND physical health:

If someone assumes the fetal position and waits for disaster to wash over them, fine, but many of them have sufficient energy to seek threads to infect with negativity - often getting in their dig with the first reply. If only theyd use that energy for worthwhile purposes instead of acting like a crab in a basket, pulling back those trying to escape.
