The world is honestly getting so bad

If you’re going to be a nihilistic faggot like this, just neck yourself.
Go read a book. Learn something new. Get involved in local politics.
If the world is going to shit, it’s because of apathetic spergs like yourself who are content to bitch about things instead of trying to improve what little amount they can.

If only we could escape from today's society of betrayal, murder, slavery, disease, and famine, to a much better time of betrayal, murder, more slavery, more disease, and more famine.

What was even a good time in this earth lol

The world isn't getting more dangerous, you're just more aware of the danger because the internet hyperbole is distorting your perception. People thought the same thing when 24 hour news networks launched on TV, and when newspapers started rolling off the press. News media is designed to spoon-feed you tragedy and outrage in return for clicks, it's not a comprehensive snapshot of society. Turn off your computer and go outside. Stop reading KF and turn off notifications on your news apps. Just do that for a few days and you'll wonder what you were so worried about in the first place.

It only seems like the world is so terrible because we now have access to all of these news stories from around the globe. If you were a farmer in the 1800s you would barely know what's happening in your country, let alone others, but that didn't mean that terrible things weren't still happening back then.

Look the point is if you are going to go postal make sure to aim the gun at yourself first.

For real tho. Any nigger who unironically thinks that THIS fucking epoch is "muh dark age" is a fucking idiot with zero goddamn perspective.

So much bad shit that has been around for literal millennia has been just straight up vanishing/rapidly declining for nearly a century now. Mass slavery, global fucking wars, plagues, famines, absolute and unescapable hatred and oppression and misery and fear on each and every goddamn corner of the planet no matter what race or religion or whatever you were. Like do you have any fucking concept of how cheap life was until this past century? where in the fucking courts of royalty a 50% death rate of princes and princesses before the age of 12 was considered a LUCKY streak?! where a plague wiping out half the population was considered a good thing by the survivors because "hey, at least it means we are less expendable to our feudal overseers now"?

Did the people of these times just give up and whine about how unfair it all was? no. they kept fucking grinding towards something better for them and theirs, and over the centuries shit has gotten exponentially better in literally every metric. and this trend will continue on until either supernova happens or we get hit by a gamma ray burst or some shit.

The idea that "oooh but politicians are still lying and inept shitheads" or "uuuughh people are still trying to censor and silence shit they dont like" or "REEEEE WAR AND DEATH IS STILL HAPPENING #WORSTTIMELINE" makes this age worse than every goddamn century going back since we brutefucked the neanderthals out of existence is as retaarded as a downs-syndrome gang-rape. Fucking nigger slaves, inbred peasants, ubercucked eunuchs, and even the goddamn welsh persevered in the face of a bleak and shit existence so they or their children (well...maybe not in the case of the eunuchs) could see less shit and bleakness.

Either nut up and follow their example or shut up and drink a bleachtini

World has always been shit, it's just as kids we didn't pay much attention to it and there was less media bombarding us with trivial news.

One century ago if someone got stabbed 100 miles from you, you wouldn't even know, you would be more concerned about stabbings in your own town. You wouldn't care about some random kid having cancer after your own siblings died of pneumonia at age of 5. You wouldn't care about some random economic migrants because either your family would also be ones, or you'd be more worried about soldiers (both allied and enemy) pillaging your town for supplies. You wouldn't care about political corruption because you wouldn't even hear about it and you would probably be some lowly peasant with no voting rights anyway.

Nigger can you just imagine how many serial killers and serial rapists and worse were happily getting away with it till like the past century or so? I mean especially when considering how fucking easy it would have been to kill someone with zero evidence and how the culture of the time would make women and girls that much less likely to report being raped for fear of their "virtue" (and thus their existential future since they had not much in the way of work options) being put at risk.

Like there are a handful of probable/possible cases scattered over a thousand years of medieval/early modern history I can find with ease, shit like Gilles de Rais and Elizabeth Bathory (and even in these cases its a touch suspect due to the possibility of these being political frame ups) but there must have been upwards of a hundred thousand (going by the 0.00008% of people the FBI criminologists suggested were serial killers and the 107 billion people to have ever lived) such killers active in the past 10,000 years who we will never know about. Hell given modern trends for the depraved and despicable to flock to positions of power and authority in order to carry out their crimes without chance of reproach, how many priests and knights and famed philosophers and thinkers were actually prototypical Ted Bundys?

They found the ax Lizzie Borden probably used to murder her parents; it wasn't actionable evidence, because a) at the time they couldn't distinguish between traces of dried blood and iron rust and b) what the heck are 'fingerprints?'

Remember a few months ago when every idiot was losing their shit over the possibility of a nuclear exchange with North Korea? The Soviets and Americans had tens of thousands of those bad boys ready to go off on command. It's not for nothing the main US land based missile was named "Minuteman."
 
I never got this line of thinking. In ancient times you could stub your toe and die from infection, or get raped by invading soldiers while people would go "this is normal". Entire towns of civilians would get slaughtered and raped including pregnant women and children. People poured molten gold down each other's throats for Christ sake.

Do you think the job you have now is hard? People had to work the farm every single day, without machinery just to survive. Days off were very seldom. Welfare didn't exist, and most people only saw the little area they lived in for their entire life.

Like @Judge Holden said, even the 20th century was a bunch of fuckery.

Any old person that goes "good ole days" is a dumbass. The days of the world wars where millions died in a few years? The days where mankind became extremely close to nuclear war?

We are living in the most prosperous and peaceful century the world has ever seen. The only reason people constantly complain is because they are making up problems like trans bathrooms or gamergate. The real problems we have today that people complain about are usually slowly getting fixed

If you live in western society and this time period is too much for you to handle, then you wouldn't have made it in any time period.
