I’m not demoralized by the problems the world faces. I’m demoralized by people’s active efforts against solving them, or encouraging making them worse. Racism above economic benefits for all. More expensive gas vehicles over the multitude of transport options that don’t pollute our environment.
In history books, I read stories about how the world had to band together to win WW2; for instance, stories about sharing used nylons to make parachutes, or how the modern post office was reinvented. As horrible as war was, I miss when people would actually try. It disgusts me that a great many people just know that you-know-who lies on the regular and still support him.
I don’t even hate him so strongly. I hate what he showed of our world as a litmus test, and it’s made it hard to trust that world again.
We’re only narrowly reaching a “70% dislike” and some 20% of that doesn’t care about how he uniltaterally, illogically slaughtered innocent people across half the world - they’re just looking at the price on their gas pump. The moment any empathetic, reasonable person fails to secure an oil pipeline, or, god forbid, encourages electric vehicle alternatives, they’ll rage about taxes and oil again.
2020 should’ve told me people could change. 2024 showed they didn’t.

On the bright side, I feel like the majority of the world is gradually uniting against Trump
Yeah, but why?
