Watching all of this unfold is incredibly disheartening.

The world is becoming more splintered, more nationalistic, more war hungry. Am I getting old and sensitive or is everything really just going to shit?

I'm from the UK so not involved directly in the current conflict, but with Brexit in the recent past (the effects of which still being felt) I feel like we aren't immune to these dumb decisions. Our leadership is likely watching things, taking notes and looking for how to apply this strategy themselves.

Yeah I'm watching from Australia and I was really moved by Trudeau's speech. Him talking about the long history and friendship and how it's all thrown away in less than a week is truly sad and sickening.

I don't believe you're over sensitive. The world as I knew it seems to be coming to an end. I'm gen X and can remember what an exciting and optimistic time the 90s was. I don't think it's just nostalgia. I remember Mandela freed. The Berlin wall falling. Science being revered.

And since 9/11 it's just been a constant slide to shit.

Not getting sensitive.

We forgot that we stand on the shoulders of all those before us, and now we’ve decided to learn first hand their struggles.

It's the enshittification of democracy.

Partially caused by undereducated voters who were allowed to pass by the educational system rather than being held back until they learned properly imho.
