I'll just link meta-meta-commentary on the report. As you can imagine, anyone can say whatever they want about the vibes -- am I "misrepresenting it" like Trump is, or am I "directionally correct?".
The point is "everyone knows that climate change will end the world" is a partisan lie used to justify pessimism.
If we don't want to talk about lies we can just talk about other silly source of the pessimism:
The rich run the world for the rich and everyone else suffers. Poverty is common, and all the things that should be free are instead not free. College costs too much.
It's phrased here too-honestly so that readers won't attribute the opinions to the poster. But obviously (as I've mentioned before), poverty doesn't exist in the West.

Well Southrkraut hasn't been fully vindicated yet, but I'm not even sure what test you would run to know when he is vindicated. "Left" and "right" are moving targets and so the two will be struggling even after we are all dead.
The delusions that Maiq points out are not really relevant. For one example, as of now in 2026 the climate alarmism was finally admitted to be made up or whatever. In what sense is Southkraut not "taking into account" Blue pessimism? I concede that the Blue Future will have more depressing vibes than today, and it certainly won't be anything bright and utopian like Star Trek. The reason is something like: Blues are perfectionists spoiled by winning so hard, all they do is focus on their small losses.
Partisan governments deciding who gets dates is just speedrunning civil conflict. Is this intentional?
