Your comment is the perfect illustration of exactly the issues that you complain about. You make sweeping claims without citations that are meant to invoke a deep sense that despite data showing otherwise that life is getting worse. Consider that you are part of the problem.

You can't neglect the toxicity of egotism flaunting status in the face of those without. It's a provocation potent enough to touch off wars. If you're tired of the usual punchng bags, then how about maybe the French Revolution being a less fatigued example. Your willful ignorance is just as easily part of the problem.

  fwiw “confused” isn’t an appropriate word for mentally ill in english.

    I had some doubts about using that word but people don't necessarily need to be "ill"; Your average Joe is able to "snap" (let alone be confused about life or have a momentary mental breakdown) too. Being mentally ill on the other hand is stating its there for a longer period. (e.g days/months/lifetime).

Classic leftist claiming to be able to read someone's intentions. I agree with parent poster - why isn't he allowed to state his view that the article's view is warped? And why is infant mortality disqualified as evidence? Just that one correction completely paints a different picture.
