yeah, it's absolutely true that something more universal needs to be instated, i'm not denying that part. the thing is, it's already right in front of us. there's never going to be something more humane and international than basic human compassion - it already crosses every state line and every artificial division. we simply need to do more of it, and encourage it in others.
the primary prevention of that solidarity is things like state power, nationalist identities, racism, etc.
by breaking those systems, we permit that compassion to resurface.
