Hope is attacked because without hope there can be no change. They want you hopeless. They want you despairing. A despairing populace does not stand up. A hopeless populace does not pushback. Let your anger fuel your hope. Rage for a brighter dawn. Don’t cede your joy. Joy is hope. Hope is movement.
let me put this another way: despair, or its new name, doomerism, asserts omniscience--that things cannot be better, that all possibilities of good are already foreclosed, that you can know this as fact. it looks like humility, but it's all ego. it is, in fact, the assumption of godhood.
