>When I was a kid in the 90s, I imagined a bright future for the earth, peace and prosperity for everyone by 2020.
Were you dumb as a rock as a kid too?

I didn't imagine crusty boomer politics making a comeback. Never gave a shit about politics, but it's a stretch still.
Edgy Zoomers are larping 60+ from the 90s.

I was also very optimistic. I didn't realize it, but the 2000s did have a lot of hopeful people in science hyping up near-future technology. "The internet is going to make education more efficient! Everyone will be smarter! Computers will discover new things! Fascism is dead!"
