Just the Beginning

[ReuKinChe]

When one looks at the crises the world faces today, it is clear that they are too large for merely one nation to face on their own. Climate change and the ongoing pandemic threaten all of humanity, not just Germans, or Fijians, or Indians. Such problems must be faced by a unified world, not a divided one. Yet at the moment when humanity should be uniting, science denialists and short-sighted demagogues threaten to upend this grand effort. They must be defeated, at the ballot, in trade, or if truly necessary, on the battlefield. For they would see us divided, squabbling amongst ourselves over the last meagre scraps of a dying world. They would have us reject the social and intellectual advances of the last four centuries, to have us kill each other for the glory of an entrenched privileged few, while we drink water that is as murky as our thoughts.

To this, we say 'no'. We refuse to accept that humanity is destined to fall to its own folly. We will hold the course, for the sake of all of us. And if any would sabotage the preservation of humanity for their own fleeting interests, they will be stopped. Every horseman of the apocalypse will be slain, or bow to the will of humanity.

For this reason, the people of our new nation have voted to unite as one. More are free to join us. No matter one's race, gender or sexual orientation, you shall be accepted. For nothing that is human is alien to us. And to the non-human species roaming this planet: you too are welcome.
