How did the world become like it is today? Off the top of my head:
U.S. opioid crisis
Syrian refugee crisis
daily European terror attacks,
massive social divisions
+/- 20 different powers close to war in Syria
war on the korean penninsula
CIA/NSA spying on US citizens
where is Obama?
God help us.

It's better than the early 20th century.

In reality, just shitty people doing shitty things AKA human nature.

I fall into the trap of only looking at one side of the equation too.
I get nostalgic about the 80's and 90's often, but the truth is, there has never been a better time to be alive than right now.

Over utilization of prescription medications. Lack of an emphasis on hard work and education. Upping the graduation rate by basically passing kids along that didn't deserve it. 24-hour news/TV cycle.

Liberalism is a mental disorder.

It all goes back to March 2003, when Bush invaded Iraq.

Only a dumbass would think we aren't living in the greatest time period in history. The "good old" days are a lie from people that can't cope or adapt to the modern world.

I tend to blame Harry Truman. He pushed for the United Nations. He didn't unleash Patton on a very vulnerable Russia, and he didn't let MacArthur whip China's arse once and for all.
Those three things would've solved a lot of problems. A victorious Korean War and (presumably) no Vietnam War and no U.N. Security Council (with Chinese or Russian votes) to stymie us at every turn.

Because most of this stuff could have been going on in the 50s, 60's and 70's and we would have been blissfully ignorant of it.
If someone farts on someone else in Budapest there's a story on the internet about it.
Lot's of things that went down in the 50s and 60s, we found out about in the 90s.

The wages of sin is death. The answer is that we brought it on ourselves.

This is the best time to be alive, and this is the best place to live in.
Makes one wonder about the shite our ancestors had to put up with!
