Who are you referring to as "the whole world", specifically? People on Lemmy? Leftists? Your friends IRL?

I'm in a good mood! :)

Been outside or watched the news lately. What’s there to be in a good mood about?

You can find people in a good mood, but not on Lemmy :P

Idk, some leftist people (including minorities) are energized and motivated, so it’s important not to get stuck in some weird self-defeating trap. Political up and downs happen every generation. Don’t fall for the doomer BS, it’s important to keep following through with your personal goals and persevere. Find a community and volunteer, take care of each other.

Ultimately people should seek to close gaps with others, and try to find common ground, while acknowledging that there are some values which cannot be compromised, like sacrificing someone’s humanity and (personal/psychological) safety.

I mean, our new Dear Leader’s best oligarch buddy threw two very unambiguous Nazi salutes inside of five seconds during a nationally televised speech, and the vast majority of our media establishment is simply bending over backwards to give him the benefit of the doubt over his “awkward hand motion”. So yeah I’m in a bad fucking mood, because this shit is going to become de rigueur.

Our wealth is taken, no one does anything.

Our health is taken, no one does anything.

Our privacy is taken, no one does anything.

Our voices are taken, no one does anything.

Our citizenships are taken, no one does anything.

The reason is apathy, which feeds inability, which feeds apathy, which feeds inability to do anything.

When our lives are taken, most people will be both ultimately unable and unwilling to do anything.

Even if people don't know it outright, they feel it.

More than this, we feel a disappointment and a shame in our bones that can't be shaken off because it is that outrageous and primal fear of losing anything more that drives our inaction, and so we feel ourselves to be cowards at our very core.

This is what grinds away at our souls daily.

When you eventually decide to do something, you will see you are no longer apathetic or unable. Your fears will begin to heal, and in this way it will save your soul. This is the power of courage. It is something you have to make for yourself, but hope is what drives it and hope is given.

My coworker said to me today that all the news outside of the US is calling us Nazi America and this goes hand in hand with my own international news reading experience in the last day. I think everyone is acknowledging how dumb we look and how it affects them?

Im in a bad mood. I cant speak for others. But the world is fucked up.

It's the looming boiling point. More and more people understand things are going to come to a head Sooner Than Predicted™.

What we're seeing is grief, but multiplied by billions

The world it just ain't right, it keeps me up at night

The vibes on RedNote aren't so bad.

I keep having this and similar conversations with my wife and my friends and family .....

The majority of the world has always been in a bad mood because 90% of planet has always been poor, struggling, doesn't have enough, live in poverty, are hungry and are generally not happy.

The only difference is that us in the rich west have been recently affected and are facing a near future where our comfort and freedoms are going to be affected. We are starting to feel what the rest of the world has been feeling for a long, long time.

I say all this from the perspective of an Indigenous Canadian because I grew up poor and in a circumstance where me and my family were always made to feel less than the rest of the Canada.

Certainly, there is a grim atmosphere across many social platforms. Mainly, the last few days from my anecdotal experience.
