УНН Politics ✎ Elon Musk reacted to the European Commission's decision to fine the social network X, stating that the European Union should be
"abolished." He believ…
The EU is like the last bastion of fucking common decency for humankind. The USA is going in the shitter. Britain is doing the same but 5 years behind. China and Russia are self explanatory. Most African countries still haven’t sorted themselves out (Yes i know about imperial history, them being dealt a shit hand doesnt make the countries great for the average person). The middle east… well we all know how thats going. Japan elected Shinzo Abe 2.0: The Abeist.
The EU seems to be the only bloc not going batshit insane.
Latin America is the unsung hero IMO. They have a “pink tide” since their leaders are mostly moderate leftists. There are exceptions of course such as El Salvador and Argentina (although to my knowledge, Javier Milei is nowhere near in trying to curtail civil liberties and human rights). Latin America had been off US’ radar since the Cold War and they can use that time to build closer relationships amongst each other by strengthening MERCOSUR and military ties.
There is Africa. Again, while there are exceptions, by and large many African nations are doing their best to uphold democratic values. The West African bloc, ECOWAS, had been great in the past ten years to oust African leaders who don’t want to step down. When Brexit happened, the African Union allowed freedom of movement among AU citizens at the same time. I can see AU becoming more united, although it will take more time than we would hope for.
India will become authoritarian I would say in the next couple of generations. The neoliberal policies and flirting with fascism by Modi have sown the seed for full blown far right movement in decades to come as far as I can tell.
For the Far East, they are too insular and have their own stupid, age old inter-racism against each to be more united, and the fragmented geography of Far East Asian countries, that is not China, makes cultural exchange and understanding difficult to create kinship necessary for a more political union. But I think they may stay democratic for the foreseeable future (now, Japan has a little surge of far right, but they are not a threat in the immediate future). Unless there is Asian NATO, the Far Eastern democracies won’t hold against the threat of China. Although again, Asians are too insular and geographically fragmented for closer cooperation.

Boy do I have some bad news. Far right is on the rise everywhere. People suck.
