the best part (and I mean that with extreme sarcasm) of this farce we find ourselves in in the US, of course, is that any future I can imagine is going to be bleak regardless of what happens.

oh hey trump's out of office -- one way or another? great, what about all the criminal fucks surrounding him that have enriched themselves and furthered their political careers because of him? the neo-nazi ideas that are gaining acceptance because we watched the world's richest man make two Nazi salutes at a presidential inauguration, and not one fucking major news outlet could bring themselves to call a spade a spade? how's all that goin'?

you've dealt with all of that? fantastic. now you just have to convince the American population that healthcare isn't socialism, trans people don't want to turn their kids gay, oh, and that rich people are actually their enemy. Well, them, and the Russian and Chinese governments (no, tankies, this comment isn't for you either, blow me). you know, instead of just constantly having asinine culture wars with ourselves. Good luck with that.

oh yeah by the way in a little while Taiwan's probably getting invaded because their independence hurts China's fee-fees and that's gonna fuck the global electronics industry really bad for... a not insignificant amount of time, lets say. And that's probably a conflict we're actually going to get tied up in, unlike invading Greenland (hopefully).

oh hey you've dealt with all of that? ... somehow??? that's cute, hey, by the way, the climate is so totally fucked now that in the near future, wars over access to food and clean water are now almost all but inevitable. and the ocean (and everything else) is full of plastic. glhf!!

When I see young kids nowadays, I feel so depressed knowing what they're going to have to grow up dealing with.

They don't have to grow up...

Just look at Gaza.

well, by "what they'll be dealing with" I meant something some of them will survive with great hardship, and many of them not.
