A place for optimism, relentless positivity, anti-doomerism, and snuggle sessions.
We're all in this together, and a better world is possible!
This is now also a space for organizing tips for our collective survival as we confront climate change and everything else. Still no doom-posting. We're here to work together, support each other, and boldly face the future.
Rules:
Familiarize yourself with the site-wide Code of Conduct
No doom, no gloom, only bloom. There's plenty of room for doomerism elsewhere. This community is solely for having a positive outlook on the future and spreading good vibes.
Be kind to your fellow users. This also means no arguing in the comm. Arguments and negativity are not conducive to blooming. Constructive discussion is good. No interest-policing. Support your comrades in their joy!
Always share good news. We can't exactly enforce this one, but if you have good news, please share it with us! Keeping happiness and positivity to yourself is the twelfth type of liberalism.
Time for another bloomer thread in which we post about the good stuff. Be it something big, like a major breakthrough with your org, some good news you want to share, or even something small like "hey, look at this cute bug!". This is a thread where we take a short moment to spread some joy in some very dark times. So if you have something nice to share, share it!
In bloomer news, (or possible disappointment, I'm hopeful still) my org is having a major party debate about the stance toward Socialism with Chinese Characteristics in which I see many people now starting to say like "what use is it to denounce China when China-making could be used as a recruitment tool if we take a neutral/supportive stance". This makes me happy because I have no other option for a party worth my time.
The ideology team at the national level has been putting out hit-pieces and me and some comrades are working to challenge the pieces on scholarship and content in order to improve the party. It's a slow moving machine, but that's how democratic centralism can work when previous ideological mistakes must be corrected.
