Counterpoint: if you think the world is so terrible right now (relative to…?) that anyone pointing out anything positive must be shut down, you’re probably just a toxic asshole.

I don't think you understand what I mean, so I'll try to rephrase.
Knowing that bad shit is happening and accepting that it's bad shit is one thing. Wallowing in it and pointlessly arguing about it (not normally discussing it in a measured way) is a separate thing that is not necessary and helps neither the ones participating nor the community in general. It's possible to do it differently and many are capable of it.
