49 Brutally Honest Social Media Posts About The State Of The World Right Now (New Pics)
Have politicians always been this corrupt, or are we living in a particularly precarious time? While the government is supposed to work for its people, many citizens of countries around the world have realized they can’t trust their leaders. But one advantage we have over the generations before us is that we have access to the internet. And nobody can silence your views online.
Bored Panda has compiled a list below of brutal political posts from social media. And clearly, these people are fed up with the systems that are supposedly in place to protect them. This might not be the most fun list to scroll through, pandas. But we hope it reminds you that, no matter how frustrated you are with the state of the world, you’re not alone.

The Consequences Of Lawbreaking At The Highest Levels Of Power
Depending on which country you live in, you might love your president or leader, or you might be plotting a move abroad as soon as possible. Even if your country is one of the happiest, wealthiest, or healthiest statistically, there’s no such thing as utopia. And no matter where you are, deciding on who should run the nation will never be unanimous.
According to a 2025 report from the Pew Research Center, the majority surveyed in 20 out of 25 countries believe that their political system is in need of either major changes or complete reform. And at least eight-in-ten adults believe this in Argentina, Brazil, Greece, Kenya, Nigeria, South Korea, and the United States.

“Math Is Math” - Mr Incredible
Jeff White 12 hours ago
I have started hearing this type of comment more and more and it is making more and more sense. I've even heard French people saying, no wonder you Americans hate taxes so much, you never get anything for paying them.
Not everyone is optimistic about the future, though. In 12 countries surveyed, about four-in-ten adults expressed skepticism that their political system can change, despite the fact that they strongly desire change. In Greece, for example, over two-thirds of citizens desire complete reform or major changes to their political system. But they’re not convinced that effective change is possible.
In India, Kenya, and South Africa, on the other hand, over half of those surveyed say that they’re confident the system can change. And in Sweden and the Netherlands, over two-thirds of the population doesn’t see the need for major changes to the political system.

We Need Medicare For All - Now
Geoffrey Scott 9 hours ago
As an ACA recipient, I have relentlessly dogged my conservative Rep over the last year on the value of these benefits, and how I retired at 62 secure in the knowledge that I would have benefits as a central decision in this choice. Also, how folks at the dollar stores and large Corporate grocers rely on Medicaid and SNAP to ensure they could survive as they earn less than most everyone else and that, yes, they are his constituents too. Also pointing out these conglomerates are actually dependent on 'poor peoples' benefits as they don't fund health care and rely on SNAP for their bottom line...corporate welfare, in other words.

Why Does He Live In This Century?
As far as how people view their governments, Pew found that 47% believe that few or none of the elected officials in their country are honest. Meanwhile, 46% of citizens believe that few or none of their politicians understand the needs of ordinary people, and 40% say that few or none of them are ethical. Meanwhile, only 18% think that the majority of their country’s leaders are well-qualified for their positions.

That's Why Educated People Don't Like President
Nathaniel He/Him Cis-Het 12 hours ago
There is a correlation between higher education/intelligence and left wing, liberal political leanings.
It’s no secret that people around the world are fed up, particularly younger generations. The survey found that the desire for drastic political change was stronger among young adults than older adults in nine countries. In Canada, for example, over half of adults between the ages of 18 and 34 want political reform, while only 29% of those over the age of 50 feel the same way. Perhaps part of the reason for this is how active the younger generations are on social media.

Who’s The Leech
While social media certainly wasn’t created to be a tool used for political activism, that’s how many people choose to use it today. A 2023 survey from Pew found that nearly half of social media users had been politically active online in the past year. Over a third said they had taken part in a group that shares an interest in an issue or cause, and over a quarter had encouraged others to take action on issues that they consider important. 14% had also looked up rallies or protests in their area on social media.

That people are willing, nay, eager to ignore the r**e of young girls - and not just MAGA, we know why they don't mind. That there can a child rapist sit on the USA's throne (don't babble about "president' - if he can't be removed , he is a king) and people don't burn down the house with him inside it, no matter how much they like the building, is comprehensible and shameful.

40% of adult social media users in the U.S. believe that social media is very important when it comes to finding others who share the same views and care about the same issues. Nearly one-third also say these platforms are important for getting involved with political or social issues that they're passionate about. And over a quarter say that social media gives them a venue to express their political opinions.

Social media can also shape people’s political views, so it’s important to be cognizant of the content you’re consuming. Euro News reports that Gen Z is the generation most likely to have their political views influenced by social media. 44% of Zoomers say social media has played a role in how they’ve formed their social and political views. However, it’s common for social media users to find themselves in echo chambers, so it’s important to ensure that you’re being exposed to various points of view.

Again, relentlessly dogging my GOP Rep over this as well. "Michigan already requires a valid ID to vote and if you don't have one, you can still vote, it's just not counted until your identity is verified...how do I know this? I'm an election inspector for my township."
