We live in the most peaceful time in history and we carry the collective knowledge of humanity in our pockets. We have many problems to solve now and in the future but some perspective is useful.

From my original comment ^
Don’t straw man. Obviously we have problems today. I’m not arguing that things are fine today. I arguing that from a historic perspective, today is a good day. Nostalgia for the past is such a bullshit privileged belief from non marginalized people. Study history so we don’t make the same stupid mistakes again.
Your original post sounds like you think millennials are the first generation to have problems when in reality, our generation’s problems are trivial in comparison to past generations.
I think Greg is talking about how despite people mentioning how bad things are, if the current situation falls apart, they’ll look to the present era with nostalgia. Not that I say things are good as they currently are. It can be improved much more.
I don’t know how to help you personally, but I’m sorry to learn you’re in your current situation. Thanks for sharing it, I have no way of knowing otherwise.
Peaceful to who? It’s not peaceful for countries at war, neither for black people and other ethnic minorities in the US or here in Brazil since the police is racist and will kill for absolutely nothing. This can’t be ignored.
Carrying the collective knowledge of humanity on our pockets is impressive and yet we are pushed sensationalized lies and disinformation for profits sake at every corner. Even when its not for profit, the status quo is so strong that other views and perspectives are easily dismissed. The whole internet is so heavily monetised you can’t use it properly without an adblock.
I think this is a better perspective, since it screams that we need change, radical change, the current system cannot solve any of this.
Neither doomerism, nor this positive way of viewing the world are gonna change it for the better, only fighting for it will.

Edit: this thread screams ignorance
Peaceful… I don’t know, more like everyone has lost hope for a better future.
Evil people in charge everywhere.
Collective knowledge of humanity in our pockets… But only interested in Facebook and tiktok and Instagram.
Study history. The chance of dying violently is the lowest in history. And evil people have always been in charge.
The fact evil people have always been in charge is not a plus in the humanity is OK column.

I’m sorry to hear about your situation. That’s really rough. I hope you can get the support you need and deserve.
To your 1st and 2nd point, those have always been true.
I love that your bar is: hey man at least no one’s randomly stabbing you.
Which he’s also wrong about. I’ve been randomly stabbed for being gay.
knifes or pencils
In the ass?
Is every Australian user here either an idiot or an asshole?
Our sense of humour is different than yours is all. If we couldn’t laugh at ourselves and our mates we would kill ourselves.
