    No, it sounds like you’re trying to sow defeatism by ignoring good things that have helped people, just like civil rights, in order to focus people instead on all the problems that have yet to be solved. So that people feel… defeated.

    That or you failed all your history classes.

      And how is everyone in the us doing? Living paycheck to paycheck? Barely making rent? Can’t afford healthcare? Starving kids? Seems you aren’t paying attention now

        And there were are :) let’s ignore history to make that point now.

        Anyone else feeling defeated reading this users posts?

          Guess what? I’m suggesting tthat there are actual issues, you are ignoring them. Would you rather us not talk about the issues facing us? Seems like you want to ignore all the bad in order to not sound “defeatist”. I hope the world improves and i am waiting patiently, is that defeatist?

            Guess what? You failed to prove that we didn’t solve anything substantial since the 30s. Remember that?

            I personally work towards fixing problems I didn’t create, so that we all have a better world to live in (green energy and resources, engineering), at the behest of shits like you who choose to complain and sow defeatism. There are others who work just as hard and harder in other facets like you mentioned, despite what you want others to believe.

            We move the needle. You try to convince others the needle hasn’t moved. Fuck off.

              Sorry, didn’t realize i was writing a dissertation for you. Wait 20 years and let me know how good life is for you with all the improvements you’ve been working on personally :)

                Defeatism, I’m glad to work towards proving idiots like you wrong. If everyone thought like you we’d really be fucked.

                And lol who asked for a dissertation just to be correct on one fact? :) looks like wolfshadowheart took the time, but ignore that right?

                Edit: I do it professionally, not personally.

                  Global warming, pollution, biosphere health, even wealth distribution. Which one has improved in the last 80 years? We try to improve and focus on unimportant bullshit while we literally let the world burn around us

                    We’re ignoring civil rights so you can make your point that nothing has improved right? Or can I only pick from your list?

                    We’re doing gift giving later man, I got time to mess with you today :)
