Honestly everything you're saying is effectively the most realistic understanding. I promise things are worse than most realize, and even worse, we're past the tipping point and have been for a long time too.

Being positive is utterly meaningless, and even worse it's harmful - don't prioritize your mental health over the reality because the prevents the selective pressure for change.

You must understand this is really that critical. We're already in for a far worse future than most understand, the question now is, well, do we do anything about it, and we won't until pretty much everyone understands how serious this is, and freaks out the requisite amount for change.
