    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.

        I get what you mean.

        Personally I am unsure of whether it’s one of two things

        1. 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.

        2. 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
