In the future I would like, I imagine a way with no more wars, no more inequality, no more discrimination....political boundaries have been erased and, every single corner of the earth belongs to everyone. There is no more local and foreigner, there are no more religions, the air is clean and resources abound because we have learned to make the most of them without abusing them. We are no longer slaves to gas, oil, coal. Energy comes from the sun, water and wind, as well as from the very wastes we use as fuel. The climate is now stable, cold winters are back, ice and glaciers have returned, and water resources satisfy everyone on earth. Summers are hot but not excessive, and the mid-seasons are back with their colors and scents. There is no more hunger, no more misery. A new world has begun.

2040, I'm 72 years old. I've seen my country collapse under a cultural, cultic and barbaric invasion. I've seen my ancestral religion replaced, destroyed until it disappeared in favor of another, intransigent, intolerant and conquering one. I saw my way of life and my freedoms changed to the point where I no longer recognized myself in any of the areas that made up my life: freedom of speech, freedom of movement, freedom to care for myself and choose my therapy, freedom to think, freedom to dress Western-style without being insulted. I've seen Europe repress the fantasies of the far-right and turn a blind eye to the real perils that have led to its downfall since 2001. But I saw it all from a distance, because in 2022, at the age of 54, I left Europe. And I got my life back. Happy end of life to the EU. There is no future in Europe.

In 2040, I'd like things to go back to the way they were between the 1960s and 1980s. Everyone was happy, there was no hatred, no violence, people showed solidarity, there was work everywhere, there was democracy, governments were cool. We'd need a woman in government, there'd be no war, we'd get back to living together, in fact we'd have to change everything we're living now

I survived. After WW3 few have left living as civilization tries to rebuild itself. I work as a butcher and an hunter for our community. I have regular nightmares about how it all started. It started good, europe held against the invaders. As time passed dissidents in the form of immigrants started revolting, changing and sabotazing europe from within. The point of no return happened and nucleard weapons were used. That turned to be devastating to us and the enemy. Most things were destroyed. Now we somehow manage to come by. I live a more happy life than before. No wage slavery, no politics, nothing really just survival. It is peace. It is calm.
