A very belated Happy New Year or should it be hope we see out 2025 in one piece.
As a baby boomer I have spent a lot of my life believing that progressive changes was both happening and possible.
Now I am left hoping that things can just stay as they are and not get worse, but realising that means fighting hard against the tide of reaction, lies and even neo fascism. After hoping that we would wake up to a better more equal fair world we are facing a return to feudalism and rabid nationalism with our new overlords being the billionaires now not just scooping up the worlds wealth and resources but increasing control over the media and now government.
But maybe because I am an optimist I see that there is incrwasing resistance to this and a blossoming of humanity, humanism, scientific and medical progress and an understanding that there is a majority of people who are still basically cooperative and caring.
So in this spirit of hope I want to try to facilitate older people engaging with each other and younger generations to learn lessons from our past to help us overcomethese rising tides of reaction which our own parents succeeded in overcoming
