Anyone who only spreads the differences in the world, regardless of the political context, ultimately only has division in mind. You can recognize the intention by the shift in topics to scapegoat issues which are brought into focus in order to divide.
Yes it is a beautiful world and it is in the hands of the good to stand up for the most important issues to be brought into focus.
climate change, species extinction, drinking water supply, pollution, resource scarcity, overpopulation, global warming..... Climate migration,..... AI further development and the resulting abolition of jobs, social grievances in the context of simple fascist solution models with fatal consequences for human history.
Only the cooperation of everyone on this planet can save humanity in the long term.
We are human beings and we all have the same requirements.

Participation, social justice, freedom and equality... are the basis for creating a better world together.
Nationalism is completely out of place in a globalized world with global challenges.
Solution concepts of the past from the so-called good old days are concepts of doom with creeping no return points.
Simple solution concepts in a complex system of dependency are doomed to failure.
Anyone who says otherwise should take a look at the successful brexit model.
Which was sold to the people as a lie based on disinformation and false promises. The complex interrelationships and dependencies were deliberately ignored in order to get brexit. Today, Great Britain is worse off economically and socially than it was forty years ago.

Louis Armstrong - What a Wonderful World
My English class has been exploring a unit on the Harlem Renaissance. And since Black History Month has been celebrating black achievement for the past few weeks, heres a report on one of my favorite artistic time periods.
The Harlem Renaissance was a period of artistic and cultural revolution for the African-American community, originating in the NYC neighborhood of Harlem. In the early 20th century, African Americans mass-migrated to the North to escape poverty and racial segregation. They relocated in Northern cities such as Chicago, Detroit, and New York City, searching for jobs and housing. They found social and economic freedom where they came, especially in Harlem, a neighborhood of NYC. Harlem had previously housed rich white people, but low rent and open jobs allowed black migrants to fill the space instead.
Harlem fostered a new sense of community and identity within the African-American community. During the 1920s, this manifested into a period of significant artistic and literary achievement. Black writers, musicians, and artists found pride in their identity, using their work to celebrate black identity and culture. Though these figures faced obstacles because of their color, and racial bias was common, Harlem of the 20s was a social hotspot for African-Americans. Writers such as Langston Hughes and Zora Neale Hurston (my personal favorites) wrote extensively on the themes of racism and African-American identity. Musicians like Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington and Bessie Smith shot to fame, performing blues and jazz in Harlem and other cities. They performed in Harlem’s vibrant clubs, a common scene featured in paintings such as Archibad J. Motley’s iconic Nightlife.
Though these icons, and many more, were able to have successful careers, most black Americans were treated poorly. Down South, Jim Crow laws segregated people based on race, leaving non-whites with fewer rights and opportunities. Northern cities weren’t legally segregated, but many African-Americans faced discrimination and lived in poverty. Change would come over long periods of time. But despite these challenges, African-American art and culture flourished for nearly a decade. Today, this inspiring and influential era would be known as the Harlem Renaissance.
