Your fatalism is, in all likelihood, much more toxic to others than it is to you. So please, think carefully about the poison you sow where hope might otherwise be cultivated.
There is no prize for being the first to give up, unless you think discouraging people who are already facing long odds is its own reward.
Stop acting like hope is niavety. People who plow forward against impossible odds are sometimes niave, but often not. Some of us just live in opposition to the very notion of inevitability, because that's what it takes to do the impossible.
Ask yourself: where did your sense of inevitability come from, and who does it benefit? It may benefit you, in that it gives you permission to do nothing about great injustices, but it primarily benefits those who enact the injustice you've deemed inevitable.
