Is world becoming a better place? Is it developing? What's your opinion?

I'd say that the world is a much better place now than it was 50, 100 or 200 years ago.
The amount of entertainment, food and comfort we have now is astounding. The biggest problem is actually managing this sudden influx of things to do.
Healthcare is also advancing at a very rapid pace, space travel for the common man is almost here as well. I think we're progressing quite fast.

Yes. But insufferable faggots are getting more insufferable..

No, the world is going to burst into flames any day now because of trans people and tumblr feminists disrupting traditional values

Mine: yes.
World is basically becoming more and more progressive. Islamists in MENA, vatniques in Russia, alt.rights in Europe are only reaction to an inevitable progress of the humanity. Humankind creates new technologies, technologies improve economy, economy improves society. Young generations worldwide are less retarded than older ones, less religious and conservative. People can move all over the world now so blind nationalism dies too. We may have downfalls in some places like Russia now but it's temporary phenomenon which cannot change the path of humanity.
So basically mine opinion:
In 20 years MENA finally becomes stable and develops. Africa has economy boom in China style due to stabilization and ton of workforce.
In 50 years majority of the world becomes Sweden-tier with a quality of life and social development. Marijuana and gays legalized worldwide.
In 100 years: feels good m8

I guess the nobles of Europe losing power called Servantes "degenerate" and complained about Enlightenment ideas destroying the world. Slavers complained in Roman empire that they lose slaves due to new religions ans ideas. Cavemans complained about agriculture destroying their traditional harmonic lifestyle. Those are just usual laments of people whose ideas are becoming obsolete.

> feels good m8
but whats the point if we're gonna be dead in 100 years reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

What if life expectancy would grow up to 150?

>Young generations worldwide are less retarded than older ones, less religious and conservative.
No no and no. Young muslim kids are becoming more and more radical. Much worse than their parents. White kids aren't much better they just all become nazi. Things are getting worse not better.

I don't see how you could have so much blind optimism with what is happening. I don't even disagree with your ideas it's just that things aren't going nearly as well as you claim.
Even Jews are running to Israel nowadays, because they are scared of the future here. I don't blame them. Things look bad and this is becoming anything but a better place.

Nazis and Islamists are minority and they are only reaction to progress. I see Russia and I see youth here is way more progressive than parents and it's the same to the most of countries of the world. Maybe France is the opposite but as I've said the exclusions can't change the whole trend. Read any sociology on modern youth by countries of the world.

I want to take Russians.

I don't believe they're a minority at all tho. If you look at election numbers i'd say there are about 1/4th of young people who are normal and moderate. Everyone else is edgy and angry and wants to fuck the country up

Maybe in Russia the youth is more progressive than the parents but in France and i guess the rest of Europe, only old people are progressive anymore.

>Read any sociology on modern youth by countries of the world.
Yes and every day we hear sociologists talk on radio or write in the papers, how young people are becoming more and more nazi/muslim and no one is being reasonable. Just look at the statistics.

No offense but I think you have a naive view of Europe. People here aren't becoming more progressive at all it's the complete opposite sadly

>of Europe
I was talking about the world at all, not only Europe. I understand that Europeans often think that they are the whole world, but you actially are only 500 mln of 7 billions. Your problems don't change general trend of that planet.

what is global warming, alex? overpop? human's are fucked m8

Well it's not realistic to think the problems of Europe don't have global political repercussions ... Regardless believe what you want, might as well keep being too optimistic rather than not at all. But don't complain if you're disappointed then.

>global warming
Bullshit.
>overpop
Not really a big issue. There are ton of resources and countries with big population has a great workforce advancement.

>problems of Europe don't have global political repercussions
Dude, you are very special civilization living in a very wealthy conditions which has little to no political influence now (it's USA who speak for you) and barely affects outer world.

You're projecting French problems on whole Europe. Southern Europe has a big growth of radical lefts, for example, and in Nordics people don't seem to be a radicals too. It's your problem with a source in poverty and unemployment of youth in France.

asia has been stable for the last 30 years and is rising. quickly becoming the most important economic region of the world including already well-off countries like korea and singapore.

which is why american foreign policy has an asian pivot and china and america jockeying for influence over ASEAN.

most countries don't see europe as "the place" and haven't for a while. most asians really care about america more (in a good or bad way).

europe has lost much of its influence clout except maybe germany, especially with the EU looking pretty unstable.

Yes things are getting better. We live in the most peaceful era in human history. Obviously so many things can go so wrong, but I am optimistic that we will continue to stay on this trend.

In my country, we also have a rise in popularity of a sort of pseudo-fascism, but at a much larger scale than Europe because there is no platform for debates between ideas. So I am not very optimistic about my own country, but I am pretty confident that the rest of the world will continue to get better.

Europe being independent or not isn't that important. Europe is wealthy and so foreign powers want it, moreso now that it lost political independence.
If the US went through all the trouble of making Europe pretty much its vassal its because there are things to gain from it such as military support, trade deals, not having their enemies control it...

The point being, will USA keep controlling Europe or someone else have it ? Internal politics of Europe are important to this question. If foreign powers fund European political parties, it's because they want to be the ones controlling this place.
European politics matter for this reason, otherwise we wouldn't have Russians giving money to FN, USA giving money to PS, China trying to buy influence in UK now I saw etc etc.

that may be true, i didn't think we were the only ones with such issues ?

its still relevant, just not the main power callers anymore. its basically america, russia and china really having major influences now.

its basically the same ussr-usa mold of the cold war, except china instead of the ussr.

europe won't become irrelevant anytime mind you, australia isn't irrelevant today nor will it be any time soon but it has to jockey other powers economically or politically.

Purge all the SJWs and we're good.

>Muslim kids becoming more tolerant
Then why is it that the dudes behind recent terror strikes and foreign born ISIS fighters are 2nd or 3rd gen immigrants :D why is it that ulta conservative wahhabism reigns supreme in the islamic thought :D why is it that muslim immigrant resent the host country :D why is it our freedoms crumble every month even further under the EU :D why is it the younger generations face harder and harder life with worse job prospects than their parents :D

Face it, our societal trust will crumble, social services will be cut and natives will be living in enclosed gated communities away from muslims. We are not progressing. We are regressing

>people unironically think humans have changed since the first civilisation

I like you.

I used to believe this but while some things have improved since I was younger society in general has become considerably worse

No, III Word War is coming.

No, each year this world becomes more worse and I dont know whether to kill myself or see the world burn.

see you in the trench lad

I believe Europe and the EU is much more internally oriented than global. Individual European countries almost never do anything on their own on a global scale with the slight exception of the UK.

The economically significant industry and tech advancements are happening in the US, Asia and Africa.

What I mean by this is the countries with the highest growth in GDP are in Africa and Asia, there is a great deal of technology investment for those living in Africa and Asia (solar powered appliances, Microsoft focusing strongly on expanding internet access) and that this trend will probably grow from this point on. Whereas in Europe, markets for certain new technology are smaller because people don't need solar powered TV or other electronics that can operate in a village with no power plant.

If there is any region to worry about stagnating it's probably South America. But at the moment they seem to be collectively rejecting socialism so maybe there is hope.

Feels good to see poltards burning. All the youth around the world are becoming less religious and conservative, google sociology. Stop reading pol and read actual news and researches. You have extremely biased view on the world. We see the mass westernization throughout the world, and people worldwide fall for western memes. I was not talking about Muslims only but considering them we see the spreading of left ideas usually. Islamism atracts loosers and uneducated people and it's basically just a reaction to a progress similar to vatniks in Russia.

>Is world becoming a better place?

If by better place you mean "destroyed till the point of no return" than you are right.

I give this shithole another 50 years.

This. But climate change will probably fuck us all over within the next century or two regardless of the progress.

>UK
>telling about destruction
Top kek, you live in a 1st world dude
