@Em0nM4stodon the booing of AI by grads 🍺
@Em0nM4stodon the fact that hopefully most of the current regime leaders will be dead soon. The hope that good people will make a stand against these fascists and technocrats soon.
@Em0nM4stodon
Toots like yours.
Because there will be more good toots underneath.
@Em0nM4stodon almost nothing, especially seeing the people at power. Seeing all the activism against everything wrong in the world makes me hopeful, but that hope is often crushed by how they are treated by people at power in different parts of the world.

The long view actually gives me a lot of hope. I see what's going on in the US today as the last gasp of the old confederacy. What gives me hope is an understanding of the penduluming nature of leadership in a first-past-the-post electoral system. We just gotta get through the last of the shit and we can start working collectively to solve the polycrisis.
What gives me hope is the future. Yeah, it's a US-centric perspective, but even being run by a bunch of useless fucksticks we're still crashing the world on three fronts--hormuz, the ai economic bubble, and kessler syndrome. We look like clowns, but we're still very, very powerful clowns. Put good leadership back in charge and the US can contribute a lot to righting this spaceship earth.
The fact that nothing claimed as "inevitable" by fascists actually is.
That it's actually hard work for them to make it seem that way, and takes a lot of money every day to uphold this deception.
Seeing people realize this again and again, and fight.
That gives me hope.
@Em0nM4stodon Seeing the good people in this world despite attempts at coercion.
Knowing that the majority of people on this planet recognize what is happening to them and do not want what is being shoved down their throats. There will be a reckoning.
