Very pessimistic. Besides the current problems like wars and Trump becoming the next president of the USA (which as a European citizen really scares me), climate change is going to fuck over human scociety big time in my life time. Well, it already is but still humanity as a whole is doing jack shit about it. Giant oil companies keep digging for new oil and gas, the best selling cars are unnecessarily huge SUV's, planes are still being subsidized rather than trains, humanity keeps eating meat, plastic usage and production is barely going down.
The current problems the news is full about don't really matter in the long run when we're literally making our planet unliveable and humanity is clearly still denying it.
There was four years of Trump and nothing particularly bad happened.
In fact, global instability has been markedly worse in the four years since.
which president's administration directly attacked Europe with the Nord Stream II bombing?
He didn't really have a plan for his first term. That's why he only was able to do a few bad things. This time around there is a plan.
The plan just seems to be more standard American bullshit. Which would happen no matter who was president. Remember how genocide Joe was going to save democracy? Instead the creepy bastard murdered hundreds of thousands of innocent people.
I wouldn't classify Project 2025 as "more standard American bullshit".
It's basically a guide on how to turn the USA into a fully fascist country within one presidential term.
What's the difference between fascism and full fascism? A distinction without a difference.
I put that in so people don't come out of the woodwork to tell me that the US already have some fascist tendencies.
The US is already fully fascist.
