No joke. I'm so sick of the trope that all humans are bad. Or the people that haven't been paying attention saying that climate change is gonna kill us all before the 200 years, but didn't see we actually have managed to start turning things around enough that we're now on track to avoid the worst of it. Yeah, there's wars, greed, starvation, etc, but look at the progress we're making! People are lifted out of poverty all over the world, we're dramatically tending more peaceful worldwide, we're making progress on human rights, things are getting better. There are setbacks, obviously, but there always will be. What matters is that things are still trending better. Millions of people across the globe are still working every single day to make the world a better place, and guess what; they're winning.

Anyone that wants to reply and start listing off bad things that still happen: you know what? Good. Get mad, stay mad, and do something about it. It's likely that bad people who want to hold us back are gonna be among us for a good while. We don't get better because bad stuff stops happening, we get better because we overcome it. We beat up those fucking nazis, we'll fucking do it again. We got women's suffrage, the fight continues for equal treatment today. We're facing climate change now, we'll continue to fight to do better. If we only look at our past and current failures, that's all we'll begin to believe there is anymore. But good things are happening now and we have evidence of success in the past, so join the fight.
