Within the next decade, China hopes to become a global leader in protected nature reserves, creating a network of wilderness that would be three times the size of the U.S. system.
I can’t speak for Lemmy, but I had a very different opinion on say things like prevalence of local corruption compared to the average American when I lived there (and this was under the second Bush and Obama, so not that recent).
I will admit, the US seems very far from “end is nigh” (I don’t mean this in a positive sense, it can get infinitely worse, I know from practical experience), but that doesn’t mean regressive tendencies aren’t broad and have deep roots (completely unrelated to Trump’s direct actions).
Again, treat this as a perspective of a foreigner who lived in the US for multiple years and visited regularly before COVID. Just an alternative perspective of sorts.

I think this is a fair perspective and more in line with the truth.
