It feels surreal how much good stuff is happening atm, as though the outlook doesn’t make sense and there’s some looming disaster I’m neglecting to consider.
• Peace being brokered in Yemen,
• USD hegemony being dismantled…
• …wrecking the US’s ability to bully other states with sanctions
• …potentially crippling US ability to finance its wars
• Australian Labor party has an almost clean sweep of Federal and State parliaments, ostensibly still US-aligned but Dan Andrews visiting Beijing.
• Strikes ongoing in the UK. It sucks that Labour has been captured by the right but working class are aware and it’s pushing people to grass roots and unions.
• Strikes and Riots ongoing in France
• Germany and France relations with US cooling rapidly, warming to China
My personal life sucks atm, but anticipation at how world events are unfolding and the USA’s unravelling is keeping me going.
I think there is hope for the world as a whole and I thing we are trending toward something better for the reasons you have stated, but its looking rough in some spots. The queer apartheid in the US is very concerning. Also, oil plutocrats and their accomplices are basically seizing power in the US. Of course, rising sinophobia and concerns over warmongering. Also, liberalism persists with too little push back and imperial discourse is only becoming more robust.
Overall I am feeling optimistic but it all comes with a list of concerns as well. There is a lot to be done in both the north and south but it does seem like good things are becoming possible and thats all we can ask for as people of our time.
