Tbf it was slowly going to shit back then too.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Eh. It didn't really start going to shit until 2001. Things stayed pretty darn good after 92. Not a lot of decades with that track record.

I mean, in the 90s we bitched about mostly distant global things because things were pretty good in general for most. And we had time to worry about less-catastrophic domestic things like Mumia or Peltier or what have you.

Now things aren't so good and we end up bitching about far more local things because things around us are so bad.

It's a great trick

my whole childhood in the 90s was the "ozone layer is dying" but at the same time optimistic outlook on life?
