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.

aside from Amerika starting a nuclear war, yes, the future of humanity in general seems hopeful
from a selfish perspective, I’m not too thrilled about living in an increasingly fascist Europe, but at least we’re a very small part of the global population
Yeah I don’t wanna live in a fascist America
it’s always been fascist for indigenous and black people
Happy Grain Day comrade.
thank
Fascism is when white people have to feel like the colonized.
Ukraine war is being won by Russia
It does seem like history is advancing in a good way but i am a bit nervous about the US warmongering rhetoric atm.
I know, I recently heard on NPR anti-China story after story. Apparently the “president” of Taiwan was “pragmatic” in coming here rather than a USian going there like Pelosi.
China is doing a drill practising blockading Taiwan, and US politicians are foaming at the mouth to go to war to stop them.
generally, things in the world are getting better (at least in projections), and in large part the decline of the US’s hegemony can be attested as reasoning. But on the downside, when jingoistic civilizations fail, the likelihood of them getting into one last ‘great’ war shoots up. The US might not have the capability to hold itself up much longer, but it doesn’t seem like the dogmatists care for reality and I don’t see a future without a new American war.
so I guess in the long term the world is on a positive trend, things are going to get better all around the world and the future will be brighter. But in the short term, at least from my jaded perspective, it’s looking rather bleak. See you in the trenches of revolution, comrade.
Yes, very much so. Living through quickly developing history is thrilling and the prospect for socialism to take really take root in other places than the 5 existing AES states is looking brighter each day.
I relate to the personal life sucking at the moment but I’m working on getting better.
Speaking personally, I’m not super excited about America’s descent into lashing out and war-mongering as I live here, but hey, it’ll make the world a better place and likely open up opportunities for revolution or at least major changes.
Onward, everyone! We’ve got this, and we are winning.
Edit: Of course there are still major things to be worried about and pressing issues that are getting measurably worse, I don’t want to come across as some idealist but I think you all get the point
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.
This is exactly how I feel atm.
