どうせ + 句子

どうせ means the speaker thinks the result will not change anyway, often with resignation, irony, or joking.

It can sound negative, so be careful in formal contexts.

どうせ混むから、少し早めに出発しましょう。

It will be crowded anyway, so let us leave a little early.

Avoid it when encouragement is needed; it can sound pessimistic.

When the result feels the same anyway, use どうせ.
