Even with the bread part beginning to fail, the US populace is still too complacent from bread and circus to do anything about it.

There will be no rich people if the poor people don't procreate.
That is a very Americentric viewpoint. People are getting killed in wars as we speak, in fact more people are getting killed in wars as we speak than did in the 1960s.
They did not have climate change to worry about though, because they were blissfully unaware of that fact.
You seem to have forgotten climate change, the main problem which we are facing, and which will cause tougher economic times than we have ever experienced before.
It is not realism though, since it is based on factually incorrect statements.
You have not provided any charts or numbers. I provided a link to an actual study on the subject disproving your claim.
You posted a google link, so no, noone read it.
I posted a non-google link which factually disproved your claim.
Blatantly incorrect.
New data shows record number of armed conflicts. In fact only the period of WWII saw more armed conflict than we are currently experiencing.
Your information is outdated by 5-10 years unfortunately.
Wars are at an historical low point.
Global conflict levels highest since end of Second World War.
We have solutions for almost every problem which exists today.
A very bold claim. We have lots of solutions, but not the will or resources to implement them. Climate change being the primary problem of which we have no real solution.
We are not born to die, just as a book does not start to finish
Both of those things are true though. We are born to die, and a book does start with the intent of it finishing.
But the point is it is not about the situation today, it is about the situation in 20 years, heck just 10 years, of which these people will live into and experience very soon.
but society at large is getting better at the world scale over the long term.
That used to be true, it is no longer true. And it is not a natural law that this will happen, it is just something a lot of people who have lived in the golden period of the 1950s to early 2000s inferred, without actually considering a larger swath of history than that.
