As I see it, these are the options we now have at this moment, November 2024.

I won’t be talking in terms of nations, or organisations, or even political groupings when I will use “we” in the subsequent meltdown, I use it to refer to the entirety of this species. In addition, I’m coming at this with a very limited knowledge base, but a 100% open mind. Please do correct or clarify absolutely any subsequent element, and I genuinely thank you for the truth!

As it stands right now, the situation’s grim. We just lost America, and while America isn’t the entire world, it’s big enough for Trump to be a major dent for all of us, especially for the Left’s chances of turning this whole dumpster fire around. At this point, American siblings, these are the only options left to us.

I’m Balkan. We replaced Communism/Socialism with corruption of such profundity, that with the settling blanket of Fascism, the only sane and safe option is to start from scratch here as well. I’m not even going to mention the regressive state of social politics in most countries around here, and the situation’s clear.

The EU is fighting back hard, but it’s already started to lean farther and farther Right as the more powerful members shift Right. I don’t see much hope for the EU to become a Socialist Bastion any more than I expect Putin to retreat and pay for all damages tomorrow.

Speaking of Putin, that’s plenty said about Putin. I am reticent in saying Russia, because so many people in that country don’t even have room to form an opinion about what’s happening. But seeing mounted Riot Police units trampling peaceful protesters in the opening days made everything clear.

China is becoming very scary. Many cat owners will understand what I mean when I say China’s giving off the same vibe as a cat who’s really had enough of your attention and is mentally preparing to sink some claws in you.

I don’t know much about where Japan’s looking nowadays, I shamefully admit, but I hope you guys aren’t having too rough a go at it.

South America is unfolding as the political mess seeded by the CIA, and things will most likely only get harder and harder there as Trump advances.

Canada ain’t doing too hot, either, from what I’ve read about things.

The UK is doing an award-worthy cosplay of 1984, but with way more racism.

Africa is pretty much at war with itself, thanks, gunrunners!

And then there’s the genocidal elephant in the room… I… I don’t even want to expand upon that, we all know exactly what’s going on there, and if anyone says otherwise, then you’re way ahead of me on the “swallow it all down” path. Bet it tastes like shit, you go ahead and enjoy that, though.

And to top it all off, the planet continues to burn. Yay.

So, yeah… What else is there? How much worse does it have to get? And what the fuck are we going to do about it? Yes, I’m asking you, wherever you are, you, the one who understands exactly what I’m saying and wants to see fairer days for absolutely everyone and everything alive around here.

What can I do when everyone - and I mean EVERYONE around me just wants to drown it all out and go to bed, only admitting the situation in those brief moments of pure awareness right before falling asleep, wishing the world would collapse after their eyes are closed and spare us of the need to look at the mess.
