I am comfortable with the knowledge that I spent the best years of my life in the '90s. The music, the clothes, the general vibe, the prices... The few wars of the era look like kids playing Risk compared to what's brewing now.

The lifestyle and material conditions enabled by a century and a half of fossil fuels are coming to a close.

It will only get worse from here. There is no recovery.

I agree, but people dont like to hear that.

There is always the possibility that we are wrong also.

That's not mutually exclusive with frustration at the world falling apart around us.

[–] HugeNerd@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 month ago

Correct. And I weep about it almost every day. One, because I miss it (and my youth), and two, because I look at kids today and it can't be fun.

Unfortunately, no. At this point, the majority of humans in every country have allowed the worst of us to amass and consolidate power to the point where things will only get worse until complete destruction. Without a concerted and basically worldwide effort to take those power structures back, everything progresses downward. For my part, I can only hope we go out fast and soon so some of the planet's ecological systems and species can be saved.
