There is always hope, and things have always been quite bad one way or another. You’re looking at the past with rose-tinted glasses, and forgetting how bad it was too
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.
Personally I am unsure of whether it’s one of two things
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.
Kids playing in the streets.
Kids having semi autonomy.
Cheap rent.
Glass
foldfood and beverage bottles and jars.A middle class.
Hope.
Or to keep us docile/fighting each other while they build their arks and bunkers.
Jumpers for goal posts.
Man, I miss hope. It was so great.

Things are getting worse and we’re all fucked.
I have absolutely no faith and see zero evidence of it being 1. I’d love to be proven wrong though.
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.
I have hope!
Hopefully it is although, not knowing how old you are I just hope it happens quickly!
I have started donating to Corby 's new party, whatever it’ll be called. Hopefully it’ll grow into something meaningful
1, 2 could be explained by pedophiles are on the prowl, plus people have IPAD/youtube kids now.
Paedophiles are no more prevalent now than they were. The fear of paedophiles is through the roof though.
