It's official: Global Editorial (GE) has hit the century mark in posts! Before we get to all the lovey-dovey appreciation, it's time for a New Year's resolution to readers, or shall I say a decade resolution.
As we enter a new decade, I ask that you continue the fight for a border less world, one where our station in life is not dictated by birth. Just because you're born in Sub-Saharan Africa (life expectancy of 61) doesn't mean you're a lower class human that one born in the European Union (life expectancy of 82). If you can look me in the eye and actually tell me that you chose to be born on nation listed in your passport, then you sir/madam are an alien. The lottery of life is such that we pop out somewhere and for some reason some of us become jingoistic about our location, a small minority (hopefully GE has inspired growth) understand that it's all luck and get that borders are a concept of racism designed to segregate humans from one another.
I think by now you know why I have an avid interest in elections worldwide, not because it's something to know for trivia but I believe all decisions globally matter, after all, we all originate from Africa and deserve taking interest in the lives of our fellow earthlings. I know, some pasty white male in Iowa is reading this and rolling their eyes, what the hell does a regime change in Rwanda mean for me? It's simple, you could of been born there by sheer luck. Have the wisdom and courage to stand up to bigots around you by pronouncing that we're all one, no matter what flag you have an obligation to pledge allegiance to.
It's only fitting that I honor the occasion of publishing my 100th op-ed piece (via blog/vlog form) to GE's dedicated readers. If you're in one of the following countries (blame google analytics for stalking your location), many thanks for taking the time to support GE, shout-out to all that have contacted me personally and promoted GE via their social networks (about time twitter engaged in geopolitics instead of hate speak), and ensured global opinion is heard in forums far and wide.
Armenia, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Egypt, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, India, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Latvia, Lebanon, Mexico, Netherlands, Norway, Oman, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Qatar, Romania, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Slovakia, South Africa, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Syria, Turkey, Turkmenistan, United Arab Emirates, Ukraine, United Kingdom, United States.
Here's to a 100 more posts that will reach the remaining 150 countries in the world. Remember, you better pay attention to parliamentary elections in Cameroon on February 9, 2020, or else I will personally hunt you down to lecture you about human DNA. Don't wait until Croatia votes on December 23, 2020 to join in on the electoral process, we're all in this together, every vote cast across the globe needs to be dissected, ridiculed/celebrated by we the people of Earth.
