Disaster is nearing. Mass displacement. Mass starvation. Mass death. It is all imminent. Do you understand?

... and? Panic? Die?
The people who tweeted this suck at Communication 101. You've gotta have a specific and clear call to action. Something like "Join this protest at XYZ" or "Demand your Congressman support ABC."
You can't just say "Drop everything. Forget about your job and your kid's education." That's not an effective message.
Unless their point is we're past the point of protests and political policies doing anything and we're all gonna die. In which case, say that. "Drop everything and go die, cause we're fucked." You gotta be clear!
I think part of the post is the implication that there is no more call to action, only a downward spiral that no action could solve.
Doomerism is propaganda.
Yeah there's a good chunk of this country that would react to this kind of message by heading to the gun store to stock up. Not exactly helpful.
If we take it at face value, it would seem the audience they are targeting would not care to participate in xyz and would not care to ask the congressman to vote abc, probably because those things are not in their own financial interest. But that’s not actually who this is targeting. It’s targeting the rest of us, who are already aware of those people. But we can’t do anything about it.
Never kill yourself for something that's somebody else's fault.

Now the body of one soul I adore wants to die
You have always told me you'd not live past 25
I say, stay long enough to repay all who caused strife

No Man’s Sky just got a cool update, so I think I’m gonna play that while I await my doom.
Preferably. Dieing and then panicking is a lot less effective.
Drop and roll.
Jokes aside, go outside, touch grass, plant some trees. Rinse and repeat
