Have I got your attention?
How about now? Good...
One of the great things about social Media is communicating with people from other places...Not just me in Pennsylvania shooting the shit with a friend in Texas...But seeing other cultures and news from around the world...Lets be honest, our media cover the United States first and foremost...It has to be something massive, or epically tragic for them to to look past oceans...And we all know #1 thing covered here is politics...It's not news anymore, it's fucking reality TV....
We are so wrapped up in our side and our Country and what's going on here, we are clueless that much of the world is also at it's breaking point...Yes, there is nothing wrong with carrying about our country...I am in no way going to stop screaming about Trump and I am not going to stop fighting for equality for all in this country...But I'll be honest, I had no idea what was going on all over the world...I knew bits and pieces, but had no idea how big it was until a post from a you woman in Poland...
These are pics from just outside her apartment...
Every night there are protests in the streets...Protests against the government...Because of her post I started looking at what's going on...There is madness is so many places....Frustration and disenfranchised people everywhere...JUST LOOK...
All those dots are places with active protests...All of these protests are political protests...The main reasons are, policy, economic and corruption...Sounds frighteningly familiar...
Here in the United States it’s nuts and there's lots of division...But people are trying to unite us and open the eyes of others who don’t get it...And clearly people around the world are trying to do this...
COVID has only made it worse, but if we can get people to think not just of themselves, but everyone...not just in individual countries either...we are all on this same planet together and my actions don’t just impact my neighborhood, city, state, country...They impact your country, and Canada, Australia, England, Poland, Mexico, Japan, Italy, Brazil, France and so on...I believe we, as a world will battle through these times and come out of it with a better world...We will have sadly lost too many fellow humans, but a brighter future will honor them...
We sure as shit know Trump won't...What did he say about those dead from COVID? Oh, that's right, "It is what it is"...#WakeUpAmerica
Keep fighting world.
