The part about helping solders calm themselves being sinister really floored me. It seems like this mentality rather than positive thinking faces a bleak future.
I can't go a day without seeing some article, some post, some tweet, some blob of text from the internet telling me to stop being positive. Stop trying, it's all hopeless. There's some race or class based caste system immutably shackling me to failure, everything is hopeless and we should all give up.
Fuck you. Maybe I'd care about your failures if you weren't framing them as mine.
