A four-panel political meme in the style of a vintage Soviet propaganda poster.
The top-left panel shows a silhouette of a person in a worker’s cap and a skeleton in a thought bubble wielding hammers with the caption “succumbing to doomerism”
The top-right panel shows porky with the caption “Makes Porky very happy”
The bottom-left panel shows the worker silhouette now holding a rifle and standing in defiance with the caption “Embracing the fight for a better world”
The bottom-right panel shows porky again woth the caption “Makes Porky scared!”
Its very hard to not succumb to doomerism 🙁
optimism & hope are skills to practice, and they do get easier over time!
on a bad day, i’m optimistic out of sheer spite because i know being pessimistic only helps my enemies & not me, but it’s also a lot easier to practice optimism when regularly meeting with groups of like-minded people.
if you don’t have any groups nearby you (or online) like zine makers / queer sheds / leftist book clubs / privacy activists / maker spaces / community supported agriculture / whatever it is that floats your boat, you might be surprised by how many people are willing to sign up if you get the ball rolling! 💪
