I am optimistic I have hope for the future and I don't want to see the world burn. I was alive when people respected the president and a trade was a respectable career choice but it was when a I was very young. I grew up in the dirt poor in the 90s went to lot of diverse schools and learned about reality the hard way.
In my life we (the US /Western Christian values) have globally solved hunger but I don't know if that was the right thing to do since we have global warming to consider so don't we need a smaller population? & what are we doing with taking people from a country where they have almost no carbon footprint and moving them to western cities to be consumers. I don't believe man is the cause of climate change or whatever disaster de jour the media is pushing. Why is property in Florida and California not free or at least super cheap if its going to be under water in a few years .. ug the level of stupid in the work is astounding.
When I was able to stabilize my life to the point I could focus on education and personal growth the internet had become widely available to everyone . From Howard Zinn to George Carlin the internet opened my eyes to world of information and its wonderful. I hope it can last maybe this is a containment site or a honeypot IDK but I am enjoying he engagement and free speech while we have it.
