I keep hopeful by knowing that the liberal "paradise" of the last few decades since the "end of history," has been a living nightmare for the vast majority of humanity, one that many nations are working by any means necessary to escape. As was inevitable, liberalism has cannibalized itself from within, and exposed itself across the world as a hollow ideology, an all-devouring abomination.

TBH I don't have much hope for the west (as someone living in it) in my lifetime (27 for reference, ie. I think shit is exceedingly fucked here), though I'd love to be proven wrong. But if you look outside it, there is a lot of reasons to be extremely hopeful for the rest of humanity- and hell, I can see the seeds of hope slowly growing in the west as well.
