Compare the wailing and whining of the DC press corps to the quiet, almost fatalistic determination of Palestinian and Lebanese journalists

We've got a president whose word is worth nothing either way. It makes people fatalistic.
i feel like a lot of people are dissociating and not reacting to the threat of nuclear war with an appropriate level of alarm?

This sounds more fatalistic than I mean it. Someone CAN stop it from happening. Unfortunately that someone is going to have to be us.

Entertaining the idea that elections may not happen only feeds a fatalistic narrative that weakens the seriousness of our movement. The U.S., despite its dysfunction, still upholds electoral cycles — losing sight of that plays straight into the hands of those we resist.

I’m not fatalistic about this stuff. People fucking hate what’s going on. It’s not going to be easy but the status quo can’t hold.

Supreme Court says the president can’t abolish student debt, but he CAN abolish the Department of Education.
This isn’t hypocrisy. It’s end times fascism—a fatalistic politics willing torch the government and incinerate the future to maintain hierarchy and subvert democracy.

Let’s stop saying things like this. Yes, they are coming for our elections, but let’s not surrender in advance by getting fatalistic about it.

i don't want to sound fatalistic, but there's precedent of this having happened with reagan
his base is so detached from reality, and the conservative media environment is so sycophantic and dishonest, that if he does nothing except declare that a bunch of problems are solved Fox News will start telling everyone he was the greatest president since FDR.
