Oh totally. The cracks were there (name an optimistic sci-fi movie after 1980), but the main narrative was “it just seems to work out.”
Welcome to the weirding, right ?

Growing up in the 80s was kinda like 10s right now, but this is significantly worse. That felt like the last decade of a big 50-year conflict (Cold War). This feels like the beginning of a new 50-year conflict.
You guys were programmed for a longer period of peace than you got.
