Do you feel sad for people born today? - sh.itjust.works

I personally cringe when I hear a friend js having a kid. All I can think of is how bad theyre going to have it. Hell id definitely have been better off being born 20 years earlier, but these new kids are REALLY screwed unless they have super rich parents. “Nothing new under the sun” I suppose!

You are born in the very very very best stretch the human race has ever known.

We have solutions for almost every problem which exists today.

Wars are at an historical low point.

Chances are good you’ve never been even experienced war first hand.

Housing is expensive, yes. But chances are you’re reading this on a couch or bed in a home, heated (or cooled), with a working stove, light at night and a fridge with edibles in it. And lets not talk about your immediate almost unrestricted access to all of human knowledge.

That would be unbelievable, impossible even during 99.9% of human history. (Or somewhere near this figure)

You should stop doomscrolling and start reading the real human history.

All of human knowledge at your fingertips. And this is what you chose to distill from it.

Wars are at an historical low point.

Factually incorrect statement.

Even a cursory search shows the statement to be factual. Pick one

Are you living under a rock?

You don't need to google this shit...

There is a large land war in Europe with combined casualties likeling going to hit 2 million within a year. north Korea entered the war on Russian side.

Israel is exterminating Arabs in Gaza.

There is a big war in sudan

RWANDA invaded DRC.

Europe is re arming. China has been re arming and rattling saber for Taiwan.

India and Pakistan always doing their thing. Yemen is in chronic proxy war.

There is a proxy war in burma

Thailand is testing Cambonia

Youa re ralting propaganda from 15 years ago.

Get educated.

Still an historical low point. Did you not check a single link I posted?

You don’t need to google this shit…

NM, you admitted it.

ALL of that has been going on since WWII, and slowly dialing down. The Ukraine war is such a shock because it’s so damned unusual.

I didn’t say the world was at peace, but war and death is at an all-time low. Look at the casualties reported in the news today. We’re stunned if 100 people get killed in a single attack. There were WWI and WWII battles you’ve never even heard of where 4,000 men were killed at once.

As to my education: I have 2 years of Advanced European History under my belt and 4 college credits to show for it. Not to pull the age card, but at 54 I’ve lived a fair bit of modern history. I’m guessing you weren’t around when global thermonuclear war was hanging over our head as a day-to-day fact of life?

Ukraine war alone reserved the trend.

The only thing that comapres is korean war.

You larping old regime propaganda in eanrest jfc

Quit being a boomer and look at the numbers.

This is such an odd conversation. I provided many charts, many numbers to look at, and you’re still arguing, what exactly?

BTW, Boomers were my parents, and I still have no idea what propaganda you’re referring to. If anything, American propaganda has always been about how violent the world is and how we need more defense spending.

Can you name any propaganda where the government has espoused how peaceful the world is?!

You have not provided any charts or numbers. I provided a link to an actual study on the subject disproving your claim.

You posted a google link, so no, noone read it.

I posted a non-google link which factually disproved your claim.
