I think the biggest issue around doomerism is the framing. Everyone frames it as if we should just accept that society is doomed and give up, but that's not what it is about. Doomerism is about accepting that society as we know it is doomed if we continue doing what we are doing.
Yet saying this isn't a call to give up and let it happen. It's a call to wake up and realize we have to dig deep and fundamentally change how we are doing things.
Things are hopeless in our current society, so we need to work to change into one that can have hope for a bright future. To do that requires letting go of the old one.
