The world is absolutely done.for

[MelodyMayKerr]

America has gone insane. Executing people on the streets for suspecting them of being immigrants. The rapist-in-chief marauding around the world doing what he wants. Israel mass murder children (& adulrs) in Gaza and call anyone who protests an antisemite.Other world leaders stand by and do nothing.
The climate iw shafted. Probably heading for 1.7° or worse, probable mass migration and associated wars. Hundreds of thousands dead in Ukraine. British economy f**ked. Musk heading to Trillionairedom while billions have next to nothing. Everyone glued to their phones, social life dead, mass anxiety and depression among young people.
Im honestly sick of the world now.

I’ve thought for a while why do people sit in their homes freezing because of energy costs in the pursuit of this eco madness when it’s likely war will finish us off . And actually I don’t think it would be a bad thing if the human race finished . It would just be the natural order of things .

Chin up, old girl. It's only as depressing as you make it.

Throw in a bit of antisemitism to your irrational rant. Nice.

The world is absolutely not done for. The human race, however; it feels like we may have peaked. It would need radical and very brave action to turn it around.

You just proved the OP’s point.

I’m actually feeling a bit optimistic, if the Iranian regime falls then there will be a stabilising effect across the middle east and a reduction in terrorist funding. Russia and China will hopefully start winding their necks in with a more aggressive america. I sincerely hope Venezuela gets democratic elections and the people who have been terrorising them are held to account. I hope after an extremely scarring war the Israelis and the Palestinians are able to come to a settlement, not now but hopefully in the next few years a serious effort is made. I hope the Somalilanders get their independence and are recognised. I think the Europeans will be forced to think about their defence instead of relying on america so much.

I actually think this year may be an inflection point globally for the good.

I also think we are all in the shitter because we absolutely cannot afford to keep living the way we do. I think unless we change course and reduce public spending we are fucked.

it most likely isn’t

It can feel like doom and gloom all the time but look for the helpers OP. Look for the peace keepers, the people working hard for change (even small, community changes) and the people who continue to help in the face of adversity.
Humanity feels bleak and it is easy to get sucked into the vast hopelessness of it all but don't lose hope. Even in the face of tragedy you find people have a way of learning, adapting and coming together.

Reduce public spending? It was cut to the bone under the atories. I actyally want my taxes to go to schools, hospitals and even the safety net that is benefits.

A simple google search will show you public spending has gone up year on year. It doesn’t matter if you don’t like it, we can keep borrowing but eventually we will find that our debt becomes so expensive we can’t service it and we will get the shit kicked out of us by the financial markets.

I know the majority of people in my life would agree with you too. On a pedestrian level and away from news feeds on social media, we are so much kinder to each other in the day to day, we can all still find joy in what’s normal or routine to most of us.

I think because some of us are parents we look for the danger because we all want our kids to be safe and thrive - all we can do is pour love into kids and lead by example. Be the kind stranger, vote with our heads (and feet), do what feels right at the time with the best intention, don't focus on the "whole world picture" if you are unable to do anything directly - you will give yourself anxiety (by all means stay informed but don't JUST consume the bad).

I don’t think you should be calling somebody ridiculous while spouting views on a video you haven’t even watched, according to your own words.

Let me help you out here. If you were to watch the video you would see it’s clear she didn’t ‘bring it on herself.’ She was trying to drive away from the ICE agents and they shot her three times in the head, at the point where she had already driven past them. Also, in the video you will see her passenger seat where there are clear views of her children’s teddy bears hanging out of the glove box. That’s if you’re not looking at the blood soaked airbag that is. The fact that you think there’s an acceptable reason for them to shoot an unarmed woman three times in the face is… well… perhaps it’s best I don’t say it.

Perhaps if you didn’t want to watch the video or read balanced news sources then maybe you shouldn’t also comment on the violent death of a woman and mother today.

The video makes clear what happened. Your version is wrong

Justifying cold blood murder in the street. JFC

This.

And here we have in a nutshell why we’re in such a mess.

“drama llama”🙄if it wasn’t so tragic it would be humorous.

All of this... except the "we will be fine" bit. The planet will be fine, but humans might well be fucked! That will happen at some point in our future.

Funny isn't it, how often people single out Israel? And what a loose acquaintance with the truth the op has (Israel was not mass mudering children, there was a war on - and there is now a ceasefire. Even Hamas is not mass murdering anyone any more).

I do indeed. Who are young adults now I’m seeing how truly fucked we are is based on reality of the world out there they’re navigating rather than a plastic coated toy child focused bubble.

Saying my kids are going to fly round the world ( thus adding to the utterly treacherous state of the planet ) and have laughs so everything is ok and I’m going to stick my fingers in my ears, sing la la la whilst sneering at anybody who can see the reality is hysterical.

I think you can have more than one time when it feels like the world is going to shit. Saying it really went to shit in 1930/40s so it’s not going to shit as much as that doesn’t really help. Anyone who has kids will worry and if you don’t well you are probably the type that looked the other way when Hitler came to power. As long as you get your holiday to Benidorm then everything is ok 👍
