Reminds me that the whole concept of generations is something manufactured of whole cloth and meant to divide us, but more than that, that real people are compassionate and understanding. All that stuff is just fake.
It gives me hope for unity.

I feel like people put on rose colored glasses anytime they peer back at the past. It is almost always better for almost everyone the closer you get to modern day. Education, civil rights, standard of living, suicide rates, mental health, addiction(edit crime)…all are so much worse the further back you go. Living 50 to 100 years ago compared to today. There is no comparison.
Unfortuanlty, we’ve evoled into rose colored contacts. While it is undeniable the standard of living has improved, that standard has become much harder to obtain. There was a time where the average young man could expect to own a house by 30. Now the average young man questions why their 1LBK costs 2k a month and they can’t save for shit.
Sadly financial culture peaked in the 70’s and went downhill from there.
Untrue except standards of living. For 50 years. For 30 years addiction part was true before Pu decided to drop slab on entire nation’s head and invade Ukraine.
