I know it’s cool to circlejerk about doom and gloom, but in general things are better than they’ve ever been. Life expectancy continues to increase, people are less oppressed, technology progresses, there’s less war, the only problem is that in an interconnected world you can hear about all the bad stuff you were previously unaware of if that’s what you choose to hear!
Life expectancy in North America is actually dropping. People in North America are losing civil rights protections. There’s actually more war, not less occurring worldwide.
According to the first search result I found it has never dropped. Do you still have regular lynchings? Can women still vote? Is there imminent threat of nuclear annihilation? Just because sometimes there are steps backwards doesn’t mean we’re not as a whole moving forwards.
