I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.
Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

“weaponized incuriosity” gets right at the heart of it
Right now naive cynicism consists of "no one is doing anything/it will never work" pronouncements rather than actually seeing what people are doing, and there are things that will work if they get support, which these postures attempt to undermine. It's weaponized incuriosity.
