Twitter's just like this, but the replies are a very entertaining mix of "it just means 'current' or 'nowadays,' no prediction is implied" with very strong (and very different) predictions of Communist revolution and climactic catastrophe.

The people who say "current/nowadays" have a stronger argument based on original German use but of course words & phrases take on different salience over time.
