I trace it back at least to the hipsterism of the early aughts.

I think it's cyclical. Ironic detachment was in vogue with Obama-era hipsters, then Trump killed it and everyone became hyperpolitical. Current doomerism comes from people being burned out by that, which is why these types are still obsessed with politics.
