“2020 is terrible” “2020 is the worst year” narratives all ignore two really crucial things:

1) For many of us, people outside of our privileged bubbles, in other parts of the world or other groups, have been experiencing far worse than this for a long time now -

- and we haven’t listened to them. Saying “2020 is the worst” is saying that somehow, these events are worse because they now directly effect us.

2) Until we radically change the way we’re living on the planet, the way we treat each other. Complete system overhaul. Things-

- are not going to get better. Nothing happens when the clock strikes 2021. This isn’t a fairytale. No one is coming to save us.

So no, 2020 is not awful, 2020 is the consequences of our actions. Now we have to face up to them.
