    Ready for radical change 

    All corrupt systems must collapse for our own good and then extra care needs to be placed to ensure not one person, politician ir oligharch, can be allowed to rebuild it. An emphasis on privacy must be placed in all reconstruction or else what will replace the collapsed system will be a worse police state than we have now that’ll turn us all into one tyranny worldwide.

    Privacy and personal rights cannot be used for bargaining for safety. That has not worked since 911 or 711.

    It’s scary

    In the era in which science advances more, there is more danger, fewer values, and we are poorer.

    Obviously they are not related, but I feel that everything should be better now and we only remember past times in which without so many good advances we lived better.

    Normal. When I was growing up it always felt like we were on the edge of disaster. Now that I’m in my 40’s and have had time to observe, I really think we’re always going to be in this same state of fear, uncertainty and dread with just a few hopeful spots. Maybe it’s human nature to fear the future or assume we’re living in the worst time. I personally don’t believe we are. My advice to younger people would be not to dwell too much on this idea. It’s a waste of your time. It’s extremely likely you’re incorrect and on the off chance you’re the unlucky generation to experience major calamity, there won’t be anything you can do to stop it. Be grateful for what you have, even if it’s not as great as someone else’s.

    I don’t like where it’s going, serious global issues, poverty, inequality. People generally don’t care about strangers or even acquaintances at all!

    It’s very good for the rich people. I tried to make it to be rich too but I failed to because I had a mental health episode out of the blue and it ruined my whole life.

    Frustrating. I’ve seen this episode before and I hated it. People are the worst. Social media is the Jerry Springer of 2020s. A zombie apocalypse would be better. Christians have been waiting for christ to rise again and instead they are worshiping anti- Christ’s. Everything is a distraction from how era being cannibalize for capitalism.

    It’s alright. I’m optimistic about the future if anything. Sure, some things suck, but honestly the world is alright right now.

    Also, one president gets into power and all the hope is gone? It’s 4 years and he won’t get a third term. it’s not Hitler reincarnated or anything like that. All those changes ain’t gonna last.

    Comical at the drama and worry everyone has because the day to day status quo has been changed and disrupted. Everyone is literally assuming shit and the masses follow. Get off social media, go enjoy life as it’s short and realize not one politician gives a flying fuck about you.
