Well yes we are complaining on a high level. However why should we suffer more than our parents? Why should we let our children suffer even more?
Oh, don’t get me wrong! We absolutely shouldn’t let that happen. My only point is saying “The past is worse” is to pre-empt any romanticized view of the past. Things are bad now - really fucking bad. We absolutely need to fight and fight hard, both for ourselves, our children, and human society as a whole.
However economically and regarding the global climate we are fucked.
Economically, I think, we’ll be fine. Or, at least, there is long-term hope.
Climate? Yeah. At this point, the death toll and general human cost is going to be ugly. Arguably, it already is pretty ugly, but it’s gonna get way worse.
