Doomerism is a socio-cultural and psychological outlook characterized by a pervasive sense of pessimism and fatalism regarding the future of humanity and the planet. It is typically associated with the belief that large-scale systemic crises—such as climate change, ecological degradation, economic collapse, or sociopolitical instability—are inevitable and irreversible. Adherents to this worldview, often referred to as "doomers, "tend to view mitigation efforts as insufficient or futile, leading to disengagement, despair, or nihilism. 1, record 1, English, - doomerism
