Nah the world is on the brink. Things get worse for trans people everyday. More war, more police, more Christian far-right/neo-nazis/conservatives, more thugs, more crime, less and less solidarity.

More and more bloodlust from civil society. Honestly if those volcanoes in India are gonna wake up in the next 30 years I'd feel less sad about it than I do for the trilobites and other Cambrian species, maybe less than even the dinos.

Not going to argue wth you on the bad, the world is definitely not in a good place right now.

But most of it seems like symptoms, rather than cause. Culture wars are being used to divide and conquer, the same is true for warmongering tyrants that seem to invest heavily in foreign disruption tactics and hybrid warfare in an attempt to get the rest of the world off their backs.

All this civil unrest leads to fear, competition over resources and therefore less solidarity overall. Getting rid of the people deliberately causing chaos would probably fix a lot of it.
