    right now things are better than they have ever been

    What wonderful news. I’ll be sure to alert the surviving Native Americans Indians and basically the entirety of the global south.

    At a time when the planet is incinerating before our eyes, parroting “akshually things are great right now” isn’t very brave.

          Poverty has dropped dramatically, worldwide, since I was a kid and there was only 3.7 billion of us.

          Just because the wealth disparity is radical, does not mean the poor are not better off.

          Go talk to your grandparents, or great grandparents, about the Great Depression. Hell, I’m only 54 and I’ve seen some shit IRL. You kids don’t even know what “poor” looks like. Hold onto your butts! Because you will see it, very soon.

        “We gave the Native American Indians a better life by genociding them.”

        Eat shit.
