"Doomers, in case you’re wondering, are Millenials and younger folks who haven’t yet found their place. [...] a Doomer might bring up to explain their negative worldview, like climate change, politics, or wealth inequality, the source of their angst is that they lack a sense of belonging in modern society."

This seems a little cynical. The Author can't think of _any_ other reason to hold concern on those topics?

It’s not that there aren’t other reasons. It’s that they use those reasons as justifications for their unhappiness. A “Doomer” would be just as miserable if climate change were solved tomorrow.

I'm not a millennial but I'm depressed about politics, global warming not mattering to people who will die soon (ie lots of boomers and greatest generation). I've got a great job, I'm a fortunate, overpaid programmer like so many others. And I can only see the slow decline of the world.

I don't want go to back to some mythically awesome time that wasn't really so great. The 50s or 60s (well before I was an adult) - remember endemic racism (far far worse than today), murders of people advocating for civil rights. I want to go forward, building on what we have. I'd like to get to the point that if you have a car accident and can't work your life is not ruined, or you get sick and can't work for a year the same happens. Somehow other western countries are able to pull this off.
