I'm not sure if this is real, but the best piece of what you might call "political pessimism" is Death of the Liberal Class by Chris Hedges. It goes a little bit overboard on the edginess at times but in general it's a great work of soul crushing pessimism
Avoid Hedges's articles unless you're okay appeals to morality though.
