Humanity
I think we have a degree of hardship to through before there is another collective era of peace and cooperation.
I truly believe that we will see truly horrific things within our lifetimes that humanity has never encountered before. Even if it is something like an earthquake simply due to the scale of damage that wasn't possible 100 years ago. Just as an example; if Tokyo gets hit by a really big quake it will be unimaginably bad because a city that large and vertical has never sustained anything like that. Even previous iterations of Tokyo that have been destroyed will pale in comparison.

Then there is freak shyt like solar storms that hit just right and take out a couple of continents worth of electronics. Humanity is in no way ready for that. It would be a shyt show for the ages.

The world has been through many tragedies, World War 1 & 2, pandemics, holocaust, Tsunamis, etc.

World is a safer

Depends on who and where you are... :skip:

My future? Yes

The world's future? No

Now is the time to be as self focused and narrow as possible. We can't save the world, but we can put ourselves individually in the best position possible to win. Lock in on your finances, your fitness, weed out the fake friends and ask yourself if your signifant other is really for you?

Trump may ruin the country, but he ain't ruining me. I got things to do. God didn't make me regular, so I can't move regular.

Things are going to be difficult to say that it's not is just lying to yourself.

BUT

I just think we have to stick together and work together to at least mitigate the potential damage has and will occur. Do I think we will totally go back to a Jim Crow like era. Most likely no. But we are going to have to steel ourselves and hope for the best but be prepared for some tough times.

I will say this though, if you can survive 2 Trump terms then you're already legendary and the sky is the limit for you
