    Defeatism is not helpful. Oppose what’s happening, don’t appease the executive. Allow there to be some way to betterment before all you can do is say ‘there’s no hope’

        Defeatism : an attitude of accepting, expecting, or being resigned to defeat

        How is that helpful. The dictionary definition has nothing regarding pushing back

          That’s the word YOU choose to use, but “defeated” would only be true if we sit back and deny unpleasant truths.
