Kurzgesagt likes to espouse a philosophy called optimistic nihilism. Roughly summarized as the idea that you like good things and will try for them, but ultimately you stopped caring because the emotional investment seems meaningless. You watch the entire building burn down and think "well if I'm alive tomorrow I can probably start a garden"

Let me propose a parity to nihilistic optimism called confrontational pessimism. Soldiers often carry confrontational pessimism. "We'll probably die but at least die fighting"

Where nihilistic optimism intentionally slants probability against real statistic and toward goal achievement, while not romanticizing or saturating the efforts : confrontational pessimism assumes the already failed state and the outcome of such a thing. But militantly supports the progress either way.

In confrontational pessimism
*Disclosure is not underway
*Peace is not being had
*Leaders are not growing wiser

But borrowing from Nietche's Ubermensch, the confrontational pessimist has a thin hope. Some archive somewhere in the universe will see them in a cosmic archive and say: "this one was trying."

The confrontational pessimist recognizes the tragedy like the old acquaintance they've been expecting. Says "it took you long enough" and continues.

The confrontational pessimist says "of course you hate what I'm saying, loser. Go suck on something. I'm exercising it"

And the confrontational pessimist finds a cold body trying to sleep on a sidewalk, lays down a stolen blanket on them and waits for not the police but the peers saying they wasted their time. "Of course you think so, brainwashee"

The confrontational pessimist is not nice. And not without error ... and almost without hope. But is consistently actionable. Many people are this, but would likely not want to see themselves as such
