Bloomer

A mix of a realist and an optimist the Bloomer stands opposite to his doomer counterpart. The Bloomer, just as the doomer, sees the world for what it really is: messy, hard, unforgiving, selfish etc. They don't live in a bubble but see the harsh reality of this world. However, where the boomer falls into pessimism or nihilism and refuses to do anything about the situation but await the end, the Bloomer has a positive outlook. He accepts the rules of the game and in it tries to make something of himself. He also sees the good sides of life, wants to live a happy life and be successful.

Doomer: "look at all these selfish people. They sit at each others throats, act like idiots, the economy plummets... Society is doomed."
Bloomer: "Yeah, I know that there are lot of dumb people out there, but there are a lot of smart people too! And look at all the solidarity! We'll get through this mate, we'll get back into the world and start rebuilding. It'll all be fine."
