Politics - I’ll leave specifics out of it to avoid turning this into an actual political discussion, but it’s worth sharing I think. I’ve always aligned with a specific political ideology and political party. This year, I started to find many flaws in the ideology and outright corruption within the party. There’s a lot of manufactured outrage and demonizing or blaming specific groups. I saw these flaws on the “other” side, but this year I realized the media organizations i favor and the politicians I follow, who seem like people who share my values, are all charlatans. One negative outcome from this is that I’m maybe too pessimistic about my country’s future in the world. I don’t think what we’re doing now is sustainable, and I’m convinced that alot of us, regardless of our current economic status, are going to be in a world pain as the status quo gradually but then abruptly shifts.
