“Things are inevitable and there is nothing you can do about it”, is at the core of the The Fatalistic Turn. But the answer to this doesn’t need to be acceptance. It just has to be an answer.
It could be “F**k You Optimism”:
We need this kind of radical hope now more than ever. Not because it will save us – no one is coming to save us – but because the alternative is paralysis. The systems want us to feel small, powerless, apathetic. —JA Westenberg
And another quote:
Even when it feels futile. Especially then. Because in a collapsing world, defiant hope might be the only thing worth holding on to. —JA Westenberg
