      Be sure to inform the people whose life expectancies have dropped, social/familial bonds have frayed, pensions have evaporated, and brains have been ravaged by depression that they're indulging in "nostalgic bullshit" because today there are 900 channels on TVpic.twitter.com/R3vlXFBlmd

      Hectoring people that their life is #actually better than they think is a losing proposition

      True, but that is different problem than if the statement 'things are better now' is a true statement

      "Things are better now" for whom? For certain segments of the population, sure. But you don't inhabit the minds of people who are saying that their lives are *not* better

          1/2 That the lot of some improves and for some is worst is true at all times. IMHO, the question is for average experience: the experience of any random person in US at1968 was better, equal or worst than for any random person in US at 2018?

          2/2 And the question is for US, because for global population, it is clear that 2018 beats 1968

          Most of these people weren't even alive in 1968. They're comparing their present lives to a fantasy of what they think the 60's were like. People who weren't grown up by then have no sense of the violence, racism, sexism, health problems, etc. of the time.

          The point is that they are in no position to make the judgement that life is supposedly worse now based on their own experience.
