You are absolutely makeing excuses, and outright misrepresenting reality, for the West's participation in the Gaza genocide. You are absolutely not in the same trenches as me, because I am opposed to the genocidal West, and you make excuses for them.

I’m just saying we live in a better world now as a whole than years past, recent years notwithstanding. Think mid-Obama as maybe the most hopeful time in recent memory as far as advancement toward the Global Goals was concerned

Pure vibes based air with literally nothing concrete to back it up. This is the hight of privileged solipsism to think the years after the GFC were some golden age. I don't care how "hopeful" your privileged ass was, what you actually mean is that you preferred it when the war criminal in charge of the US Empire was well spoken.

Do you find any optimism in the world or are you pure nihilism?

I find optimism in seeing the clear signs that the American empire is nearing its end.

And what do you think will take its place, and how?

At this point it looks like a more multipolar world, with China being one of the larger poles
