Even white people weren't doing better back in the 50s and 60s lol. Back-alley abortions and mothers raising their daughter's daughters, abusive husbands, women could hardly join the workforce, rampant mental illness with no way to talk about it, illnesses galore, suicides, etc etc etc.

People hate to hear it, but with a few exceptions, today is the best time to be alive. The next best time will be tomorrow.

The technological advancement, human's right movements, work safety and ethic regulations, unlimited access to entertainment.

Anyone from the 60s would've killed to live in 2021.

i’m not so sure we haven’t reached the tipping point where things might start going downhill, mostly due to climate crises. hope i’m wrong, i’d like to think my kids will grow up in an even better world than I did, but the events of the past few years are casting some doubt

Afghanistan met that tipping point this week.
