This is a very interesting topic that would require a lot of discussions
In my opinion, we (obviously) need both BUT the messages leveraging fear will still be more spread thanks to algorithms.
So the issue here is more like “how do we reach the people that need more positive messages” rather than “we need more positive messages”
In the end, a lot of people just can’t get out of their own hamster wheel unless hard helped offline by people close to them.
It’s also true that we don’t need masses to react, just enough people… So well, as I said, it’s food for thought that requires discussions and actions, there is no end synthesis to this comment of mine :)
Read some books about how to do politics strategically and you’ll see why they do this
Your anger works in their favor
Trump is not in charge and so it’s more about US elections rather than climate policy
I don’t think that if we start posting every bullshit said by every politician around the world the sub would still be useful
