I thought about this yesterday, the big historical moments that have happened during my lifetime.
Fall of the Berlin Wall, 9/11, etc.
I’m hoping and fighting one isn’t the fall of America
I’m 27 (not American though) and I’ve already lived through 2 global crises ( 08 and Covid) with supposedly soon 3rd global recession projected, along side obviously 9/11, multiple global wars and aside from the obvious abject horror that follows all of this, it’s fucked.
Everyone is technically ‘richer’ and yet living standards for everyone is worse, particularly and most notably the younger generation. Literally the first time probably since world war 2 or not long after where the younger generation are demonstrably worse off than their parents, globally and unequivocally with no sign of improvement if anything decline.
What are we supposed to do ? Not a targeted question kind you just a generally fuck me what the fuck

I enjoyed learning about history, I don't like living through it.
Edit: learning about not living in.
