What is your worldview, in regards to your country and politics, Ana? What are your hopes?
I only ask, because I'm genuinely curious, and I would never critique it.
Generally speaking? Dim.
There's things beyond our control, right? A petroleum based, carbon fueled century of progress that staved off what would have been an increasingly desperate fight for farmland.
This has allowed us to go from 2 billion people to 8 billion....but not without consequences. Mass carbon fueled societies have altered the environment. Generally speaking, increasingly complex systems required increasingly complex solutions for their problems.
Economies of scale are increasingly automated and require high intelligence and ability which increasingly leaves out a larger section of mankind. This puts a larger number of people in an increasingly desperate situation that they don't really understand the problems of....nor do they understand the solutions to. As a result, blaming, scapegoating, finger pointing, and groupthink provide both easy answers (though no solutions) and emotional satisfaction.
So....perhaps much in the way that WW1 toppled monarchy and traditional empires built upon concepts of nobility....
The rapid onset of large scale problems will be best handled by those nations that no longer argue internally about the best way to portion out what little they have. Instead, single party ruling elites will be able to debate internally while using propaganda and the familiar methods of mass manipulation to keep the masses aimed outward and gobble up whatever is left before the party is over entirely.
Democracies like ours can't both constantly fight internally while hoping to contend with other nations. It's the old "a house divided against itself" adage.
I don't really have hopes for the way it's going to go. That's a guess based on the way I see it going. The situation exists because of solutions created for problems that were created by the situation before.
There's no solutions on the table for some of these problems. In many ways, we're losing our ability to understand and solve problems in favor of laying blame.
There's the inherent problem in a elected official that probably was more theoretical a long time ago. They have to get elected. To do anything of use.....they have to first get elected. Well what if campaigns were so long and expensive they spent more time concerning themselves with getting elected than solving problems? What would that scenario look like? A lot of political posturing? A lot of blaming the other side with few actual solutions?
I'm not sure what to tell you regarding my country and politics because I see very little that appears smart to me from either side. I don't really hear anyone say much I agree with. I think that generally speaking, the public is dissatisfied with the politicians but they don't understand why....and they imagine the solution is their side gaining total control.
