This is from this Sundance article
If 20 years ago someone said that:
An objectionable TV personality became our greatest president.
That the previous admin would release a pandemic w/ the CCP to destroy him.
That it fostered a socialist cultural revolution.
The country would be trillions in debt.
The elections would be rigged.
That Washington would be effectively one party.
That our border would be invaded by hordes of Barbarians
That our police would be neutered.
That people who’ve never been slaves demand restitution from people who’ve never been slave owners.
That our media would be complicit vs. investigative.
That basic social constructs such as gender would be abandoned.
That a one-world government was the objective.
That in spite of what people experience every day they can be made to believe that the weather is killing them.
That in spite of all this, people go about their lives as if nothing is wrong.
That in spite of this, I’m living the best days of my life and I’ve never been happier.
All the above is true. None of it would I have believed 20 short years ago.
I've been a wake for a long time now, but even I would've had a hard time believing close to 60% of this. And yes, it IS a great time to be alive!! I'm a Gen X'er and I wholeheartedly believe that growing up in that generation helped prepare me for this stage of my life
Here's to the last of the feral children!!
Any time is a great time to be alive when you consider the alternative.
Have you ever heard someone comment on another, "Boy, it is a great time to be dead?"
