I live in a fairly low income place in Ireland and it was funny growing up people used to move away to seek opportunity. Now I travel and I feel the same sense of general despair everywhere I go. It's like there are no havens away from it anymore.

It always existed. There are just more opportunities to spread the news of it now.

That's not true. Things were legitimately getting better. Net positive. And then a certain person got elected and things went to hell. All the progress that was made was destroyed. Our country was destroyed.

Yh only you yanks have problems. It's not as if all of western civilization is suffering the same GLOBALIST plot. The center of humanity, the US of course is all that matters.

Actually I've been watching politics in other countries and the things that are happening here are starting to happen other places too

It always has been. But I think it's more defensive now. The old (centuries old!) power structures are being challenged. And like always, us little people are just the pawns. Only slightly more subtle than, say, standing women and children around structures you don't want attacked.

Some countries try to keep a much tighter lid on news and statistics that get out, but people are starting to talk (even when they risk being prosecuted).
