“Here is an endless stream of posts about why you should give up hope and stop trying” is a pattern I am pretty tired of.

Like, am I supposed to be impressed at how cynical you are?

And I can’t help but notice how often this sort of stuff is coming from white dudes that have never had to face any actual challenges. It’s like they go from “I can fix anything!” straight to “WE ARE ALL DOOMED and you’re stupid for trying!”
