False positivism is when you ignore the bad stuff & just proclaim the good; it’s not transcendence but denial. The darkness of the world must be named. Humanity’s shadow cannot be expunged until it’s brought into consciousness, acknowledged & released - a phase that we’re in now.

Yes, enough with the denial. No more wishful thinking - saying it, name-it, see-it. Remove the rose colored glasses and acknowledged the gaslighting. #TrumpIsALaughingStock #TrumpIsATraitor #TrumpLiedPeopleDied #TrumpIsARacist

It is hard to face the darkness without a promise of light. How many of us avoid the dark parts of ourselves and society because by only seeing the good it helps us cope? Facing the dark needs a promising light of hope. We can find the light inside if we are taught to look.

But who gets to bring humanity’s shadows into consciousness? Seems like a slippery slope. Or does this just happen collectively?

Honestly “false positivism” is a huge issue! It’s what allows hucksters of all types - from the political world & elsewhere - to gain traction through omission and exaggeration. On the flip side it is what causes backlash against people telling it straight as being “negative.”
