>Like it or not we still have things pretty good all things considered.
Speak for yourself, my hellsite has only been getting progressively worse where the basic good cart costs you roughly 1000$ versus a minimum wage of only 100$ AT BEST. And don't even get me started on the educational system rewarding less than bare minimum of academic performance and the health system being so barebones a relatively difficult condition can get you to die a slow death due to both negligence AND lacking supplies. And those aren't things anyone told me. I LIVED THOSE THINGS IN THE FLESH.
I'm not a doomer by any means, there's a reason I'm still waking up every day hugging my family and go make my pennies in any way I can, telling people "yeah, it sucks in here, but we'll manage." But I'm not going to pretend to cover the sun with a finger and say "Yeah, I'm living the good times" when I've lived first hand the decline of civilization as we knew it and I can attest shit's fucked.
>Having things be worse than 15 years ago isn't us back in the dark ages.
I'm not the one that said "compared to the history of the world." That post above opened the gates to make that ridiculous comparison because of fucking course living now isn't what living is during the Dark Ages, but that doesn't mean we have it any better as if we have nothing to complain about.
>also
If anything, this is the kind of shit I'm supposed to be saying to you all because you don't have to put up with even a quarter of what I put up with on a daily basis.
>"Yeah, man, it sucks, but you can't complain when venezuelans have it worse"
WHAT DO EVEN YOU KNOW ABOUT BAD TIMES?!
