    Yes, but it’s not that things in the past were perfect, it’s that you could identify a general trend of things getting better. Sure, there were still huge problems, but you could believe it was just problems we hadn’t gotten to yet. Now we live in a world that’s actively going backwards.

      I get what you mean.

      Personally I am unsure of whether it’s one of two things

      1. Things are getting better now as they were back then but now I am older and more cynical so I don’t accept they really are improving as a whole. Much like many people my age probably did when I was younger.

      2. Things are getting worse and we’re all fucked.

          Same mate. The jury is still out on that one.

          I think an actual left wing political party as an option would be a bloody good start.

            I agree with you, but I’m too old and worn down to do it, and nobody else seems to be in much of a hurry either.

            I don’t think it’s coming in my lifetime.
