Not gonna lie, I didn’t even know what BRICS was until someone on TikTok compared it to the Avengers but for countries. :globe_showing_europe_africa::collision: Can someone explain why every Gen Z stan account is hyping this up?

BRICS is a group of emerging economies - Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. They’re like the anti-G7. But the real tea is the BRICS+ move. They’re inviting new countries to join, and it’s shaking up global power dynamics like a TikTok trend. :chart_increasing:

Wait, so you’re telling me BRICS+ is like when your friend group adds that one extra person and everything gets chaotic? :joy::joy:

Trueee! It’s like a collab album but with countries vs. capitalism. :globe_showing_americas::musical_notes: And they’re talking about creating a new currency? That could be a game-changer for countries struggling with dollar dominance. :money_with_wings:

I read somewhere that over 20 countries showed interest in joining BRICS+. It’s like the hottest party invite. :tada: But seriously, it’s about giving more voices to the global south. Thoughts on how this might change things?

Not to be that person, but wasn’t this tried before? Like the Non-Aligned Movement during the Cold War? Solidarity was great, but the execution… meh. :man_shrugging:

But this time we’ve got memes and TikTok. Trust, that’s a whole different energy. :rocket:

Serious note though, the BRICS countries make up like 40% of the world’s population and nearly a quarter of global GDP. If they really unite, how does that shift the balance from Western dominance?

Can’t wait for the Netflix docu-series on this. Imagine: ‘BRICS: The Rebranding of the World Order’… instant binge-watch! :clapper_board::popcorn:

Tbh, the energy is wild. Everyone’s talking about how Gen Z is gonna save the world. Maybe starting with shaking up these age-old power structures? :man_dancing::globe_with_meridians:

cynical_cathy

Okay but, who actually believes they’re gonna take down the dollar? Sounds like me trying to take down student loans - impossible. :unamused_face:

eco_enthusiast

Real talk, if BRICS+ pushes for green initiatives, that could help tackle climate change on a massive scale. :seedling::globe_showing_europe_africa:

meme_machine

Imagine the merch: ‘I was BRICS+ before it was cool.’ :joy::joy:

global_foodie

Yo but can we also talk about the cultural exchange opportunities? BRICS+ food collabs could be so dope. Brazilian acai with Indian chai flavors anyone? :teacup_without_handle::coconut:

Less fighting, more vibing. If BRICS+ can unite, maybe they can get everyone else to chill and vibe too. World peace 2025, let’s manifest it! :victory_hand::folded_hands:

skeptical_sam

I’m all for change, but how long until we see some actual results? Global politics moves slower than a snail on NyQuil. :snail::sleeping_face:

Hey, staying optimistic here! If anyone can stir things up, it’s us. Gen Z is all about that peace and progress life. Let’s keep our eyes peeled for real collab opportunities. :sparkles::globe_with_meridians:
