I’ve been pejoratively referred to as a “Doomer.” I prefer the term realist because I don’t have a fascination with doom but I take the realistic look at the world and all signs point to a very serious problem.
I’ll take the doomer label, but not a happy doomer. It’s like looking at a car wreck - I’m not interested in the gore, but wondering how it got to that point. A scientific curiosity I suppose. If anyone suggests I should be more positive or optimistic, they now have the burden to validate the claim, given the trends we see in every manner of collapse.

Everybody thinks they’re a realist, no matter what they believe in
To tell which is which only takes their track record.
Yes, it’s a denigrative term. Ok doomer is pretty much like ok boomer.
