It looks like that because there's literally a camera in every human on earth's hands. But I'm pretty sure there's been much more violent times in our history.

This is the problem. Several cities have seen dramatic decreases in mass violence and murders recently. Your algorithm is pushing every protest, violent act, and murder that happens on you right now.

Yes.

To be fair... KCT qualified with "since I've been alive".

Things I did before that I don't do now... take public transportation, spend time in crowded venues like shopping malls, let my kids roam like I did as a child, ect...

Maybe the same amount of people are doing violent shenanigans as ever they did... a difference now is we don't adequately punish violent criminals nor do we restrain the insane.

That was a war. I'm talking about the pervasive violence of all types we are seeing right now.


This country is at war. We are literally being invaded and sucked dry. 1/9 people living in this country are illegal and half of the country supports that and wants more of it.

All kinds of violence EVERYWHERE. Random violence, planned violence, micro (individuals) violence, macro (groups) violence. Imo, you can't NOT SEE IT.

We live in one of the most peaceful times in human existence that is simultaneously one of the most interconnected times in human history, and it will continue to get even more connected, for good or for ill. I think that you probably just need to tune out the news for a few weeks, give yourself a media cleanse.
Maybe the following context will ease some of your anxiety:
The soviet union lost about 27 million people in world war two. If 100,000 Americans died of fentanyl overdoses every year, it would take 270 years to match the Soviet deaths in just that one war.
The black death in the 14th century was the last time that the global human population actually decreased year over year, even with all the atrocities and wars and famines of the next 700 years, the human species has continued to grow and to certain extent thrive, at least in free-market and open societies.
So relax baw, its going to be alright.

The only violence you know of is the rhetoric your media propaganda choice you put your life on

See, this is the problem with liberals. They ignore human traits and emotions like greed, lust, jealousy, fear, and hatred in their thinking and problem solving.

This isn't the most violent time. But it's the most theft ever. When I was a kid stores never had cameras or security personnel because nobody stole anything. There was no such thing as a porch pirate. Now I'm learning that mail theft is being done by post office employees.

Try ancient history when armies would kill every living soul in a city and then reduce the entire city to rubble.

Population is in decline for most advanced societies.

The people living in grass huts continue to make babies and they are getting food and medicine from the industrialized countries.
