re: The world in general is becoming an ever more angry, blood thirsty, and violent place.

It’s much more dangerous, angry, violent, trashy, and sketchy, and it’s been gradually going in this direction for some time now.

I mean, look - violence has ticked back up in the past few years...but that was from a trough that was WAY below the pretend halcyon years of your nostalgic youth. Go back and look at the stats for, say, 1991.

Go back decades and look at how the mentally ill were treated.

Go back to the 60s for god's sake and look at the shite that was happening.

We didn’t have to worry about people shooting people in schools when I was a kid.

You don't have to worry about that now. And if you ARE worried, then you're no better than the people that have "climate anxiety".

We didn’t have the intolerance for other people’s opinions like we have today.

Eh. That's partially true. More likely is you were used to monolithic opinions from people who looked and lived exactly like you do.
