I don't think you can say Diners have an "aversion to Doom & Gloom". It's the entire topic of the website.
Unfortunately of course, we are not all that popular.

It's not about the diner. It's about some reporter (common dreams- which is fairly big ) spreading the 6thME meme (truth). Just a little bite out of the TBTB.

The issue I have with such posts is the use of the word "we". "We" implies this is everyone, including you and me. I am not in this club, and neither are you.

The Diner is the MAD HOUSE for "truth wolves". We are pretty far out on the fringe.
Just maybe we are a bit depressed about all the talk of imminent collapse. Can you see the beauty in your surroundings? Do you even care to? Living simply is by all means necessary now. That does not mean we are constantly at war with slowing down the sixth extinction. When you live very simply you become able to appreciate your surroundings and the "miracle" of life and this universe. This is not Think Positive shit. It is a change in our basic chemistry to be able to appreciate our surroundings.
Here is a web page that has been in existence since 2007. I am not suited for their approach to this. Maybe some of you are. Visit it and see if it doesn't ring some bells in the way we approach our moment in time.

In 2008, I left a six-figured corporate career from Amazon.com to have the mental space and time to travel, to think and to create online businesses that gave me freedom and fulfillment. It was a very scary time to cut out the security my job provided.
My vision was to “never work again”, by living a life following one’s inner calling, exploring one’s potential, generating massive value, and living fully in every moment. I’m happy to report that everything has worked out as planned.
It will take a long time to humanely stop that growth and start the gradual shrinkage of the human population that is required if civilization is to persist.
"We" are not to blame. "They" are to blame.
Are YOU BLAME here Knarf, living a simple life as a Buddhist Monk on a small Monastery in MO?
I hate this "we" shit in these articles. I am not a member of this club.

I think the we is referring to mass of humans that made terrible decisions about our environment. You were a trucker for many years (pollution), and yes I too contributed to the co2 rise. I still do, just not so much as when I was younger. I started doubting the TPTB at 19 when I read the "Pentagon Papers." After that I had jobs supporting corporations that make kitchen cabinets and counter tops. Then I traveled with a band all over the US , we had three cars. I would think that only 1/2 of 1% of modern man has stayed clear of contributing, the rest have.

No doubt we all "contribute". I certainly do. But "we" did not make the CHOICES that led us down this road, nor did we ever have CONTROL over what was being done, nor could we ever STOP it once we realized what the problem was. "WE" are not responsible for this mess. THEY are responsible, as in the people who had control over the society and made the choices that led us to this point.

In my practice as a Buddhist, there is no dualism such as "me" and "them". We are one species, and that species has some fatal flaws.
When one part of the body (politic) proves to be an existential threat to the whole (for example through its cancerous growth), it IS OUR responsibility to remove it."We" are not to blame. "They" are to blame.
