    Short of massive, unprecedented, and devastating civil action, there is no hope.

    Then call for massive, unprecedented, and devastating civil action rather than portending doom. Pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will.

      This is the first time I’ve seen or heard the phrase “pessimism of the intellect, optimism of the will.” I quite like that, thank you for exposing me to it.
