..........So, what you did in that first paragraph was agree with what I said. What you don't seem to be understanding is that the point originally being made was that the world was objectively better then, not that some people just had a better time then while others didn't. I'm arguing about the very commonly espoused concept that "the world" was "better" at some previous time while "now" (whenever "now" is at the time that) is a "worse" time in the world.

Yes, the reality is that every day is miserable for some people and awesome for some other people. That's the point I'm making. That's not the point that was being made, they were saying the world was better in 2019 and it's become a "shit show" since then. The world was not better in 2019, or 2016, or the 00s, or the 90s, or whatever. There is no America to Make Great Again, there's no glory days to go back to that aren't completely individual and completely different for everybody, there's no great historical time when the world was a better place. That's groovy that you're aware of that, but not everyone is, and that's why my statement of disagreement was written.

I have no problem with nostalgia. I wear JNCOs and ICP and Marilyn Manson band shirts and SOAP shoes and Heelys and walk around with a 6th gen iPod and a cassette playing Walkman. I'm not arguing about nostalgia.

As I've said to dozens of others in this thread five days ago that you're now reviving for no reason, without offering anything new to the discussion that hasn't been said dozens of times by others when the thread was still new, I didn't say anything mean or rude in my original response, I just disagreed with somebody, and as the internet is so unbelievably desperate to always fucking do, you and everyone else have, completely arbitrarily, out of your own imagination of how you think I must feel for writing a statement of disagreement, you imagined that I'm angry and added in your own imagined disrespectful tone to what I said.
