Doomscrolling can shift from self-sabotage into collective political sabotage against precarity’s causes

Evidence

Such rituals thus diverge from the self-­ destructive nihilism epitomized by the condition increasingly described as “doom scrolling” condemning people to vicious circles of narcissism and negativity. In their most radical forms, “doom scrolls” can deliberately channel such negativity against the perpetrators who have inflicted precarity in the first place—moving from self-­sabotage to collective acts of political sabotage, aimed at revealing anxiety’s systemic causes. — Aris Komporozos-Athanasiou, Speculative Communities, 534 (#corroborates, via linked claim)
