    Well back then we thought everyone in charge was evil. Back then we had Krutschev, Nixon etc. Always nuclear war looming. And Reagan with this trickle downs, the Bush wars over made-up WMDs etc.

    I don’t think there was ever really a positive period. Maybe the 90s which was kinda the high point. Economics were good, America and NATO was the undisputed world power, nobody took global warming seriously yet and the internet was promising a great future.

    Then after 2000 we had the dot com crash, 9/11, the resulting wars, Russia becoming an enemy again, the financial world crisis, the rise of the internet as a surveillance tool, global warming, the pandemic, exploding house prices everywhere.

    Really pretty much exactly after the change of the century everything turned to shit.

      Economics were good if you lived in a western country. Former Soviet Block, Yugoslavia, and global South countries were having a rough go of thing in the 90s

        They’re still having a rough go of things, and they were having a rough go of things before that as well, so that’s not really a valid counterpoint.

          If they were having a rough go of things in the 90s. Then the 90s weren’t the shining beacon of success it’s claimed to be. That point is very much valid.

            Then there as never been in the history of this earth a shining beacon of success because at every waking moment there wasn’t an optimal number of people immune to all disease, death, and suffering, to no downside to nature around them?

            The 90s is where the curve peaked for a lot of people. China had finished bringing 70% of their population out of extreme poverty since the world war era, the USA markets and deficit were stable though heading in a bad direction due to Reagan, and Europe was having a big cultural and tourism boom.
