It’s not even the high and mighty, they don’t really care who works to build their shit. They are even happy about cheap labour that comes with migration. It’s the average Joe that doesn’t see the problem, projects everything on migration and is unable to think rational.
Seeing the massive right wing shift in my country (germany) just because the government proposed to shift to 65% renewable home heating in the next 20 years and slightly above average migration numbers that allegedly bring communities close to collapse if you believe the media, I’m losing all hope of anything ever changing to the better. People will never accept any measures that truly address the root of our problems, because they could mean a slight inconvenience for a short moment and limit the freedoms and possibilities that are taken for granted, but are really just a consequence of the technical development in the last decades. Humans where okay with not having a car or fly around the world for thousands of years, but now for some reason it’s life-defining. People are egocentric, dumb and can’t see past their own little world to understand that there are collective problems that only can be solved collectively. I know how condescending that sounds, but I really don’t know how to see all that differently.
We are absolutely, 100% fucked. I’ve been saying for about 10 years now, that the earliest time for actual change, for collectively deciding what’s right for humanity and the planet, socialism or whatever you want to call it, will come after the next wave of fascism and every day it becomes more obvious that this assessment was correct.

Either way, the world is so intertwined that anything that happens on a bigger scale will have an impact on you, no matter where you are.
