    there’s a shit ton to be optimistic about these days

    Like I am not in the US and generally this is correct, but domestic politics specifically in the US I fear is going to get even worse.

      Oh yeah, the next year shit will get much worse…

      But “it’s always darkest before the dawn” is a saying for a reason. It’s a completely different vibe then when Biden was going into office and everyone knew it was just a brief respite at best.

      The last time we were in this “good” of a position was the great depression, but that got us FDR.

      So on the timeline of a decade, I’m optimistic. Because if I only thought on short timeline these days I’d be depressed as fuck, which is why oligarch owned media wants everyone thinking on short timelines.

      It will get worse for everyone if we don’t learn, demand better and embody better ourselves. This isn’t going to be top down. It has to be bottom up.
