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.
All of which is fair, except that because of the community you are in and present global events, it is 1000% reasonable for that to be the way someone interpreted your comment.
I can appreciate your knowledgable contribution to the discussion. And at the same time, it was not at all unreasonable for someone to understand you to be talking about the major event that just happened for a huge population, and that will likely affect the entire planet, particularly with respect to climate.
I don’t expect it feels relevant to everyone what just happened in our election. But it does have the potential to be a major global historical event, over which a lot of people are presently hurting, and this community is very explicitly about hope, a thing that is hard to come by for many right now, even if you are not one of them.
You’re still turning it into an American issue. The world sure is concerned about the ellection but at the same time, at least from where i am, people are not too concerned. They are prepared and wong fall for the same junk that they did last time. That imo is a sign of hope for at lest the rest of us.
Again, all of that makes sense, but you seem surprised that Americans would relate to the world through the lens of being in America, and I gotta tell you, that’s perfectly normal.
It’s not surprising that people who chose to go to the hope-posting community are talking about and thinking about the big thing that made tons of people feel hopeless.
You’re damn right I see it as an American issue, LOOK WHERE WHAT COMMUNITY YOURE IN. WHO DO YOU THINK IT IS THAT FEELS HOPELESS RIGHT NOW??? 😅
We get it. You’re not an American. The people you’re interacting with are, which would have been pretty intuitive if you noticed what comm you’re in given what’s happening here, and it’s not anyone else’s failing that you didn’t realize where you’re at, or the context of the interaction. Have some empathy is all I’m saying.

Regardless, hope you have a good one. Take care.
