I think things are getting worse for white people exactly the way you say. I think for minorities though it’s kind of always been this bad or even worse made by people being far more racist.

Things are still pretty systemically racist but there has been somewhat of a correction and that probably does result in things being a bit better for some minorities.

Ultimately I think that means that We live in better times today because they’re more accepting than we did Even 20 years ago.

As far as getting by I think things have been like this for a really really long time and people were patient and sold a crock of shit and with covid it’s forcing a lot of these things to come to a head.

Not only that Trump himself is a governmental crisis and when there’s chaos in the government there’s absolutely chaos in society. Simmering tensions tend to get exposed.

I know quite a few minorities that would disagree with you. Also I think a lot of people in poverty probably have a better now with the institutions and systems we have then they were in the 90s when after they had been gutted by the Reagan Administration and not restored by the Bush Administration or the Clinton administration.

True irreparable harm has been done to the world through climate change.

But I see a second wave of people’s revolutions coming. Hopefully it’ll be in time to react to the changes of the world.

Even in Hopeless times we must have hope comrade.

Oh I didn’t say that. The world could be a lot better.

Only that we generally live in the best time historically wise. Most of us have a roof over our heads and steady food in our bellies which is not historically how things have been.

It’s foolish to try and look back in history for a better time because there is none. It is up to us to create a better future going forward.

Oh 100% I agree. We do live in trying times. But we also live in probably the best time to be alive at least if you live in the western world.

I just want to bring some context from the past because when you look at history we’re doing quite a bit better than we used to.

While the no Kings protest didn’t really achieve a whole lot mobilizing up to 10 million people is a huge achievement and not one that many organizations could have dreamed of doing 50 years ago.

Yeah it’s not like our ancestors went through two world wars in a period of 20 years along with the first Global economic depression or anything like that, and the realization that Humanity can now wipe itself off the planet.

No it’s definitely us that lives through the most interesting time

Just because we know it won’t get through doesn’t mean we shouldn’t keep trying to push impeachment articles as often as possible.

I mean it only took like two or three Democrat deaths to swing the house in the Republican direction so that the Republicans can get some shit through that could always happen the other way around because the gerontocracy is on both sides

Grass root movements! Very hopeful to see. Hopefully they are in for the long haul.

It seems like a really excellent response that’s well informed and source well.

It does seem like the most plausible explanation

It’s bad when George Bush seems like a better president than Trump

I mean Pakistan felt compelled to at least put his name in for the Nobel Peace Prize. That means he probably did something but who knows how much she was actually involved for whether or not this is all just a political stunt.

I also remember reading somewhere that India was the one that called Trump to negotiate a ceasefire after Pakistan responded. I can’t tell what’s misinformation this day without spending a ton of time researching the history of the topic

Given the incredibly right wing bent of the current Indian government I’m okay if our relations aren’t exactly Frosty.

Trump blowing up us relations with countries is just another day

But but I thought Israel was the only western style democracy in the middle east… /s

Israel not look like a tin pot dictatorship challenge. Impossible

What’s interesting to know is that they submitted him for a Nobel Peace Prize after he helped negotiate a deal between India and Pakistan. It was probably something he pushed for because that’s not normally what countries do after somebody helps them to broker a deal.
