  2. Your post, included comments, or your title/comment should include some kind of commentary or remark on the subject of the screen capture. Your title must include at least one word relevant to your post.
  3. You are encouraged to provide a link back to the source of your screen capture in the body of your post.
  4. Current politics and news are allowed, but discouraged. There MUST be some kind of human commentary/reaction included (either by the original poster or you). Just news articles or headlines will be deleted.
  5. Doctored posts/images and AI are allowed, but discouraged. You MUST indicate this in your post (even if you didn't originally know). If an image is found to be fabricated or edited in any way and it is not properly labeled, it will be deleted.

You act like they're doing any of it besides the smug moral solace

No I don't.

I'm capable of being honest, and judging myself by thr same standards I judge others.

You just assumed that I'm not.

I didn't "assume" that, it was indicated by the smugness of your keyboard warrior "just do such-and-such, or succumb to doomerism" argument.

No, you're not getting it:

Yep, I am smug, hence the smug description of being smug.

Meta-smugness.

You're assuming that I do not count myself amongst being smug.

I do.

Its also not the only of those 3 things I do, see my other comment where you decided to give a pretty good, though mostly off topic explanation of Nietzche vs Schopenhauer, totally missing the part wherr I established being smug is not the only thing that I do.

So if you can be a smug doomer about it while putting off tangible action for an indefinite period while you work on being able to do more, then why can't everyone else?

I just don't get the point of criticizing people for not doing the things that you're also not doing. You're not the only person with a disability or other socioeconomic disadvantage that might get in the way.

If someone is an able-bodied, white, hetero, cis male with generational wealth, then chances are they don't care too strongly about changing the status quo. So who was your intended audience exactly?
