we just live in the least bad times in all history.
This argument worked in 1990 and maybe even 2000.
It does not work for 2010 or 2020. The “least bad time” in all history has come and past.
There too was a time when Romans lived in the least bad time in all history, and then it took another 400 years to get back to those levels. Read the room. The future is of collapse, not prosperity.
The 90s, when capitalism was bringing the former USSR the biggest non-war-related decrease in human life expectancy? When a million Iraqi children suffered excess deaths due to the US sanctions? When the Rwandan genocide was going on?

Yep, that’s the decade. Wasn’t talking about 1890 haha.
Did you have a different answer in mind? If you let me know your answer I can disingenuously list a bunch of conflicts that decade.
