Woah dude! How did you turn this into american politics? The world is a big place. Not everyone cares about what is going on there. There are many unstable systems that statistics try to explain and understand.
Yes, but the election of a fascist to the highest public office in one of the world superpowers is a global event that literally JUST happened, which is why this community has seen a massive increase in activity.
The community is explicitly about having hope. Showing up in the comments to explain why you think “actually sometimes things are just permanently fucked” when a huge population is desperately trying to maintain hope is pretty discompationate whether you think this affects you or not, and to be perfectly frank it probably does. The election of Hitler was not just a German issue. The election of Mussolini was not just an Italian issue.
The whole point about this space is to maintain hope. Don’t show up and tell people “actually it might just be hopeless” and then act surprised when someone whose country just elected a fascist and is hurting and afraid, doesn’t appreciate your comment.
Many things just happened worldwide. Why assume that everyone is this preoccupied with the American election? That said, I did not notice what community this was on. It just popped up on my feed, and the realist in me felt that i had to add this comment. It is not about politics, hope or anything in particular. The lecture that I mention was about the climate, and in particular about the AMOC current in the atlantic ocean. It is an unstable system in itself, that affects a wide range of other unstable systems such as:
The Greenland Ice Sheet
West Antarctic Ice Sheet
The Amazon Rainforest
The Boreal Permafrost
None of it was about the american politics and the recent ellection. I wouldn’t even call that an unstable system to be fair!
I found it relevant, as the definition of tipping points is, that you can’t always revert from the point past the tipping point.
