I was going to post this exact thing before I saw your post. Then, I saw who made the OP and it made sense.
The liberalism of Iran in the 1970s is the equivalent of the Elite who live in Pyongyang in NK . That wasn’t a reflection of the average citizen which is why they were over thrown .

Well truthfully this is a poli board discussion but rules don't matter anymore chicken is cashing in on this place
he's selling off all the good parts
Seems like more a general human nature discussion to me.
Board policemen are the lamest message board characters around.

Because we outsource everything to other countries, which has enabled them to develop a labor market and (in some cases) a middle class.

We had the right to free speech, and also, the right to own property and pass down wealth.

So is it because of the Jews fleeing to Israel that the ME that "it" has gotten better? Was it Jews that installed MBS in KSA? Jews made the UAE explode financially?
You realize your dumbshit takes contradict each other thread after thread, right? If you were at least interesting it could be fun. But you're just another Jew hating Marxist in training.

It's because we are funding their improvement at a great cost to ourselves.
That's part of what DOGE was exposing.

Go outside and touch grass. Has your life actionable gotten worse or are you just letting 24 hour news, internet clickbait, and confirmation bias convince you your life is now meaningfully worse.
Posted on 6/3/25 at 4:27 pm to RaoulDuke504
It’s not worse, spoiled arse women and lazy people just complain on the internet now.

Ok even if I give you that now do China, Korea, India, Nigeria, Singapore, Brazil, Mexico, Russia, Mongolia, and many other countries.
You can point to a outlier which is because of a dictatorship

I think it’s a generational difference many of you can’t comprehend. Most of us aren’t in our late 50s.

And I can give you Venezuela and Vietnam right back. It’s country by country based on a lot of factors. It has nothing to do with your woe is me shite
No wonder you have a shitty job and you’re miserable. You want to be perpetually offended and held down. Stop being a pussy

The opposite has happened in Europe and North America.
WTF
And to answer your question, developing nations have much more room to improve. When you're at the top, improvements are much more marginal.

China
Cultural revolution and Marxist takeover in the 70’s. Of course their life was shite. All of that was followed by “capitalization” of their economy led to more wealth and improved quality of living. Of course it got better. It couldn’t have gotten any worse.
quote:
Korea
Be specific, is life better for the North Koreans than it was prior to the Korean War? As for the S Koreans, it’s because of America rebuilding the nation after war devastated it.
quote:
India, Nigeria, Singapore, Brazil,
Growing populations, maturing economies, and significant development.
quote:
Russia
It was communist, now it’s just a dictatorship.
quote:
Mongolia
Of course it’s better now. They finally advanced a little.

The United States, especially her cities, was a dump in the 1970s. Crime, especially violent, was peaking and far more prevalent than today. The stats spell this out clearly.
Correct.
You can see this in the contemporary media for the time. You don't have to watch Taxi Driver, either. Even more lighthearted affairs made the cities look like the utter shitholes they were...Adventures in Babysitting, Risky Business, Trading Places, etc.

I’m 37. Life is appreciably easier and quality of life higher than when even I was born.
Now, is it necessarily better from a culture standpoint point? Not sure, but things are certainly better by all metrics that have been recorded.

Is there a peak of what civilization can reach or was this failure of planning and believing we can do no wrong?
You are retarded if you believe the quality of life has gotten "worse" in America for the newer generations.

In terms of physical health, we improved.
In terms of financial health, we improved.
In terms of safety, we improved.
In terms of mental health and spirituality and community....we did not improve.
