Lol yep. Except it's weird, I remember the world generally getting worse, but people getting less bad for a lot of my childhood. Around the beginning of my memories every adult in the country lost their goddamn mind and a lot of them got super racist to middle eastern folks. So yeah over the course of the 00s I watched as insane people chilled out and my generation became increasingly chill with people of different skin colors, religions, genders, and sexual orientations. I watched as Obama was elected, homophobia became uncool, and Americans learned to get over themselves and eat a falafel.
Then in college gamergare happened and the one area where things had been improving became a constant battle. So yeah hope faded to anger. I still have hope, but it's a very different hope than one of my youth
I was 12 when the berlin wall fell. So yeah, seen some shit, but also saw it get better, and old enough to have the concept of safety nets and social responsibility embedded in my psych.
Watching the world right now is watching someone descend into meth addiction. But i hope. We have pulled out before. We can do it again. I've seen environmental laws created out of nothing. I lived as a Queer through the AIDS crisis. I remember the cold war. Those redpill idiots? Random background radiation of my childhood you little pussy fucks, try me.
Those cunts lost before, they're gonna do it again. I wish you kids could see it.
Am i naive? Not really. I've fucking seen it, and i'm old enough to have grown up with a casualised violence these modern pissfarts think is their sole territory. It's not.
