Optimistic Negativity is when you are saying negative things in a very cheerful and optimistic way, saying things about self hatred, the failing economy, fucked up school systems, etc. but in an optimistic, cheerful, and even joking way.

Somebody that tries to discourage people from seeing every negative thing that could happen down the road somewhere and focus on the positive is someone that doesn't want you to see or know their true intentions. Never trust someone that pushes people to be overly optimistic about something that nobody has a good reason to be optimistic about.
Why should people trust someone that tells them to be optimistic as long they have gotten a vaccine, worn a mask, or done everything else they've been ordered to do in the past year? Things aren't going to get better, but that sounds good, so it keeps most people in line with their agenda.
