Despair and cynicism

There’s a good reason why some voters/people become independent or apolitical over time. I found that out in recent years.

I lost hope, and I don’t think any solutions are possible through politics. Only periods of time when the system is more stable and functional. Corruption runs deep in several countries, and can ruin any halfway decent functional government and nation.

There is no perfect political or economic system, only less bad ones, so I’m country hopping to find a suitable country that is a better fit for me. I lean more progressive/Social Democrat in the US. I left the US last January, so I’ve been exposed to different systems and cultures over the past year. I may not return to the US, if I can help it.

Yes, I’ve become more depressed and cynical at my age. Interesting times indeed.
