OP doing some daygame:
It's really an illusion that all the worst things are happening right now. Here is a list of things that have been destructive and horrible in past, but are not not happening right now in west:
- Black death
- Open Hot War
- Famine
- Mafia Vendettas
- Unpredictable earthquakes
- Unpredictable volcano eruptions
- Violent religious infighting between Christians
- Megalodon attacks
- Naturally high infant mortality
- Drought
- Which hunts (we have an equivalent, but look at Africa, they have real which hunts.)
- Slavery
- Unpredictable storms
- Biblical floods
- Albino hunting for witch medicine
- Serfdom
- Norse raids
- Mongol invasion
- Feeding of Christians or anyone else to lions in Coliseum
- Illiteracy
- Lack of anesthesia
- Sacrificing of newborn babies to Mammon (we have an equivalent - but the point is it is not that new unique to present)
- Seven plagues of Egypt
- Human sacrifice
- Lack of canalization and city people throwing shit on street trough windows
- Leprosy
- Cannibalism
- Lack of knowledge about Hygiene
- Asbestos in buildings
- Use of mercury for weight loss
- Use of tapeworms for weight loss
- Forced marriages
- Pox and smallpox
- Mostly wooden buildings, lack of safe lighting and generally high fire/arson rates
- Lack of optics and incurable vision degradation
- Lack of internet and the option to discuss taboo subjects anonymously
- Meteorite strikes and global extinction events
List could go on. I would say we don't have it that bad
I don't think we are living in the worst times in human history, but we are certainly living in worse times than many of our parents/grandparents time. 50 years ago things were not as gloomy as they are now, and it can only get worse. This is kind of depressing, because for me - and I think most kids - it was always celebrated about how we were supposedly living in the best times. This is complete untruth. Even with all the latest tech gadgets out there today, it can never make up for how things have worsened in the last 50 years:
- Finding a dutiful and agreeable wife is harder than any other time. The amount of work you have to put in has never been greater for such little return (this forum is proof of this).
- Women obsessed and poisoned by social media. Women that are not raised to be sweet and good women. A cohort of women raised with ideas of sex in the city and government provided independence.
- Generally takes 2 incomes to support a good quality of living. The average man can no longer return from work to find your wife taking care of your home and children. No instead, the wife is busy doing meaningless administrative work and taking orders from another man.
- Immigration has gone insane. In Europe, they are literally being invaded by the 3rd world. In places like the USA and Canada, the white man gets a front row seat to becoming a minority in a country his people built. Any opposition to this is viciously attacked. The west must accept diversity while the rest of the world does not.
- Limp wrist beta faggots of your own race who go along with the poisonous leftist hatred of themselves and enable the replacement of your people.
- Congestion. Related to immigration and economies built to require infinite growth. People have never sat in rush hour traffic longer than they have today. People are literally wasting their lives away.
- House prices. No longer attainable like it was for our parents generation. You cannot simply start working and by a house at age 20 or 21 like was previously done. No, you will accumulate post secondary debt; you will then take a massive debt when you finally bite the bullet and buy a home.
- Leftist SJW degeneracy everywhere, being shoved in your face. Protests for tranny rights, protesting NFL players, people losing their job for speaking what's not politically correct, diversity seminars in the workplace, etc.
- Crap music like rap and hip hop being played on nearly every station. A generation raised on MTV degeneracy. 50 years ago music about bitches, hoes, money and excess was a not a thing. No, what was big were bands like the Beatles and Rolling Stones. Now you get obscene sluts like Arianna Grande singing about riding dick too hard that her vagina hurts. You get Drake singing about popping bottles and the clubs and spending money. And what about hollywood? I would argue even worse. It was bad before, but the propaganda has only gotten worse. This one is a little more subjective, but I would argue that the hip hop culture is bad for western culture.
So in conclusion, things are objectively worse off. And we aren't talking about anything that isn't that noticeable or avoidable. This shit is literally in your face 24/7, even when you do your best to unplug. Whether you're driving to work, at work, turning on the TV to relax, or looking for a woman worth settling down with, it's in your face like never before. Now don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that any of us should walk around all unhappy and defected; I'm just saying that we've got to accept reality. I enjoy life plenty and carry on with things I enjoy, despite the decline. One can enjoy fucking a ton of skanks, traveling to new places, etc etc. That said, let's not kid ourselves about the reality of the situation.
