Europe’s experiencing the longest hot war since World War II. The war in the Gulf seems to be escalating as we speak. Extremism has been on the rise for years now. Is it actually getting worse or is it simply the fact that we can access information from all four corners of the world so easily as never before?
It seems to me that many responses in this thread lean towards oversimplification which in turn garners the most votes.
While these simpler responses contain a grain of truth and that the big picture viewed trough the lens of day to day news might seem elusive; if we look at the evidence it seems we are on the cusp of a demographic collapse in global economy dominated by geriatric capitalist superpowers that lean heavily towards techno feudalism.
Most signs point towards a quite unpleasant next 40 or so years.
If you’d like a data driven analysis with realistic estimates of the likelihood of some things happening in the near future I would recommend intelligence reports, or at least the danish one seems quite well thought out: https://www.fe-ddis.dk/globalassets/fe/dokumenter/2025/-fe-intelligenceoutlook-25-.pdf
