Elämme taas yhdessä

This image was generated with Dream Studio AI.

Technology and its evolution from the industrial revolution to artificial intelligence took us away from each other. But then something happened... People began to understand the importance of togetherness. We were so far away from each other that at first it felt a little strange. But there has always been some desire within us to be part of a community rather than just individual individuals. And this is where, at the end of the 2020 decade, the idea of living in communities began to spread. At first it was only a little visible, but already within a couple of years, people who were strangers to each other started talking instead of saying hi to each other and making real deep friendships.

And little by little, we also began to understand how the way we had used technology has taken us away from each other. We have lived in a virtual world of phones and other technologies. We had united the world, but forgotten its most important... So what's close to us. This led a large number of people to start using technology more as a tool than as the one that controls our behavior. It also consciously started practicing social behaviour in schools in the 2030s.

Toivottavasti visiot auttavat paremman Euroopan kehittämisessä. On unohdettu, että valtiot ovat ihmisistä huolehtimiseksi, ei päin vastoin.
In Europe, wealth inequality has been reduced by the widespread introduction of basic income. At the same time, corporate social responsibility has been developed and tax havens have been brought under full control. Education, science and culture have become more valued than economic success. Europe has seen the planting of large areas of mixed forests, sustainably managed and with a total ban on clear-cutting, thanks to the employment of immigrants. Health care is mainly free, only cosmetic care is paid for. Europe has tightened its ranks to a quasi-federal state, with a high level of security, human rights and a green economy compared to the rest of the world. Europe is economically independent from China and the United States, the Eagles trade mainly with each other. Russia is divided into numerous small states. European culture is in its heyday and everywhere old buildings have become symbols of culture and are being extensively restored. Urban planning has moved away from capitalist profit-making towards the promotion of prosperity, and the amount of urban greenery has been set at a high level by legislation. The economic system is changing, capitalism has been abandoned because of the awakening realisation that it is the cause of natural disasters and climate change. Europe is undergoing an intellectual and economic transformation, with a value system based on equality and the protection of nature. Party systems have been abolished and democracy operates on an individual basis: candidates are required to make a sworn declaration setting out the issues they will commit themselves to promoting during their term of office. Elected representatives are subject to scrutiny and are replaced by substitute candidates if there is any objectionable performance.

Latvia, EU, UK and others 15 years into the future
Europe is getting ready to federalize, with big autonomy for the current member states, and life couldn't be better. Latvia (the member state where this future idea comes from) has went ahead and become more liberal and open-minded following a victory of a coalition of liberal parties in 2038 Saeima Elections, and so did nations such as Serbia, Hungary and others following their respective elections. Investment into projects and social support is at it's highest point in 30 years, following full introduction of Rail Baltica, due to which the economy is at it's highest peak, higher than the one Latvia experienced after increased investment after joining EU in 2004, 36 years ago. The far-right rise of 2020s has decreased up to a point where parties as Vlaams Belang (in BE), Latvija Pirmā Vietā (LV), Fidesz (HU) and others do not register support higher than 2, maybe 3,5%. Northern Ireland and Ireland unite together - bringing the long history of division to an end; Scotland and Wales (after becoming independent), Ukraine (with the 1991 borders) and Sakartvelo (after a successful revolution against the georgian dream government in 2024-2025) join the EU. England is starting to reconsider Brexit, and starts reforms needed to rejoin the EU.

Czyny polityki
I would like to change the attitude of the Polish government towards the Poles. That we should be the first to get help, that we should be put first above all else. Queues to doctors maximum waiting time 2 months , and not as before even a year you have to wait for specialists. This is obsurd. They are outraged that there is a small population growth and not even do anything to keep the already existing population towards living healthier longer....

Solidaritet igen - äntligen!
Imagine how much better things have become since 2025 - Sweden has realized the mistake of joining NATO and left this alliance. It has also left the EU - finally! It's also good to see the rebuilding of the solidarity-based society that was gradually destroyed after the right came to power in the late 1990s. Private and independent schools have disappeared, and all children are everyone's children, who should have the same conditions. Society has also taken back 100% of health care, for better coordination and use of resources.
