MyBrainHurtsIf you read international news, it's hard to read some of our complaints without wanting to scream
edgemaster72Unfortunately we all live on the same planet being turned into a hellhole by capitalists, some just have more corpse piles to deal with than others
I’d strongly recommend reading about the world. For vast swathes of humanity, it’s better than ever before. An easy quick one is Hans Rosling’s Factfulness.
I get that for some of us, our parents had cheaper houses, but holy God, more people are moving out of poverty and living better lives than ever before.
The wealth disparity between the capitalist class and the working class in America now is worse than it was in France during French revolution.
The only reason “more people are moving out of poverty” is because we literally have more humans now.
You would totally be telling the French to shut up during the French revolution, because literally slavery exists somewhere else.
Do you honestly think your life would be better if you traded your birth nowadays and were instead born in France in the mid 1700s?
At the very least there would be no internet so I wouldn’t have seen your stupid ass post
You are welcome to contribute to the fediverse by making your own, non stupid ass posts!
(I’ve heard peasant life in that time had better quality of life in the sense of stability in comparison to currently.)
You’re misrepresenting my point. You were talking about quantity of people’s lives being improved and now you’re flipping to individual person’s comparisons.
For vast swathes of humanity, it’s better than ever before.
I apologize if that came across as a quantity thing. I mean as proportions. (Though obviously true quantity wise as well.)
The percentage of people in extreme poverty, percentage of dead children etc, life has, by almost every conceivable metric has improved greatly for the overwhelming majority.
Again, I strongly recommend Hans Rosling’s Factfulness, it’s a wild eye opener.
Where are these people moving out of poverty more than ever before, specifically.
