| Why are so many people negative about the future and think the world as we know it is going to end soon People hold this opinion for thousands of years, and there were so many prediction that the world was going to end, yet it didn't World didn't change much imo, the same laws apply as they did 5000 thousand years ago, so what's the big deal? We humans still function on same principals, why we can't just be positive and do our time with gratitude for it being given to us? I didn't do shit to be born, yet I was and it's cool here |

 This ground is soiled by those before me and their lies. I dare not look up for on me I feel their eyes |
| Just because something hasnt happened before doesnt mean it never will. In fact several things have happened like the extinction of the dinosaurs and the last ice age and many empires have fallen. Rapture dreaming Christians that want the end to come but scared anyway because they know they all "sinned" + doomsday cultists which neither being same or even similar to as scientists making educated predictions of possabilities in order to effect decisions so one cant equate such things. Also some of these past predictions are completely fabrications of entertainment media. The Mayans didnt say the would end, they said a new cycle would begin which means hard times and that can potentially be an end if not prepared. I recall many false claims made about Baba Vagna who never made doomsday predictions yet it is all over the internet. Natural disasters arent so natural anymore becoming increasingly extreme and showing up places they didnt before. All those massive wild fires around the US and Australia and that deep freeze in Texas that knocked out power for example. You'd have to be deaf blind and dumb to not see something ain't right. That doesnt mean you have to panic it means you prepare and make better decisions to help prevent bad things from happening or reduce their negative effect. |

| @Order-Sol I wasn't really talking about all Christians rather specific subsets since there are different demonizational views and individual views on top of that that differ a lot and in the US they were influenced by a novel series about the rapture. The part about me saying "all sinned" was actually more of a subtle jab at people judging others without looking at themselves and suggesting how vastly varying views are on what is considered "sin". |

| @traed No, there aren't different types of Christians. You are a real one or your fake. I found out about this channel from our good friend @AmityBlight. |
| The world isn't going to end, society might collapse under its own stupidity though. |

| So referring to more modern doom types and not the classic Revelations Doomer of the past (Baby boomers today lol) Narcissism gets blamed unfairly for a lot of flaws, but your typical online doomer is a clear-cut example of it. Even with the more passive types who are very mopey, they subtly demonstrate these qualities with the constant need to prove their bleak outlook is better than anyone else's and be admired for that. They also show no empathy whatsoever for the world lol. Which says a lot. If one cared and believed the world was doomed they would act completely difference than the typical doomer. Attention-seeking bullshit (whether positive attn or negative) can explain so much today. As for the old-school "God is coming tomorrow" types, I have noticed these ppl were ALWAYS those who had pretty much lived the best days of their lives or already had children. I think these have a lot or everything to do with it. It could probably be a little bit of attention seeking behavior and a way to sort of dunk on everyone. I've never been able to narrow down exactly why or how. Maybe something like "I'm so good the world is so bad and I can say this out loud now that I have less freedom and my single adult days are over". |
| Can't speak for other countries, but in the U.S it's generally just propaganda pushed by billionaires, white supremacists, or Russian bots to try and convince you to support a dictator in the November elections. Only 8 more months of the propaganda to go. Wheeeeeeeeeee! |

Order-Sol said: @traed No, there aren't different types of Christians. You are a real one or your fake. I found out about this channel from our good friend @AmityBlight. Things changed in time and some beliefs are incorrect historically but many think their belief is the one true one and correct regardless. One should not assume immunity to this. Many of his points are semantics and his own assumptions on what someone else thinks based on nothing but a survey which im not sure if he cited where he got that or if i missed it. For example when he talked about where people get "moral truth" he failed to understand different people could interpret that question to mean different things and wrongly assumed if someone says it is determined by the individual that somehow automatically means they arent following biblical ways and think God's rules arent absolute. Though sure some things he said can apply to some people but he misunderstands why different denominations even came about in the first place and completely disregards them all the same degree. He also neglected to consider more deeply how different parts of the bible were written at different times by different people which not everyone believes which is and isnt canonically God's word. This is how denominations come about, it isn't merely cherry picking passages and misunderstanding from bad translations as only reason. Beyond that i would have to go deeper into scholarly theology on what beliefs are closest to the oldest ones which I will mostly refrain from at the moment from being far too broad a topic and entailed and I just don't really feel well enough to be up to the task and dont want it to turn to more a debate. |

| Maybe because throughout 99% of our history, humanity didn't have weapons of mass destruction that could end us all, and didn't have the technology to create deadly viruses in labs that could spell doom to our health and lives? We live simultaneously in the best times of human history (lots of freedom, high standards of living), and the worst times of human history (we could be ended instantly if some lunatic like Pootain wanted to kill us). Being a prophet of doom was a silly thing in the past, but nowadays it's the reality we live in. If someone calls you silly for thinking of doom and gloom nowadays, they're just foolish clowns disconnected from reality. It's not an exaggeration to say that our comfortable world could crumble and decay to nothingness the next day. |
| It's just the reality. No matter how positive and optimistic you are, in the end you'll still gonna die. Especially if you die old with a lot of complications. No matter how handsome and strong you are, with age you'll get ugly and weak. Your wealth doesn't matter because ghost use different currencies. Some people may lead a good life and don't think that far ahead to the future. But some people have a rough life and realize that it will only getting worse. Being a 'doomer' probably just mean being a 'realist'. But people like to cope so they label people as a doomer. |
