Well, I did post it as 'outrageous.'
From a zoomed out view, you're right. We've got it pretty sweet.
But between COVID, which to this day people can't even agree is a real thing...political divides, worker shortages, etc... it's been a tough year. Crime is up -hugely- this year, especially murders. I see people just routinely running red lights like they don't exist, going 120 down i95, and just don't see cops anymore.
I think it's probably a lot to do with media, social media, COVID restrictions and shutdowns, and housing becoming unaffordable... half the people are just at the breaking point all the time this year.
- deltaonefour 5y agoWell I assume this thread is looking for things that are "outrageous" but also genuinely believed to be true. If I can easily defeat your belief with an argument is it true? I came here interested in seeing outrageous beliefs and arguments that validate their beliefs enough for deeper examination.
- silisili 5y ago> If I can easily defeat your belief with an argument is it true I do not feel defeated, nor that I no longer believe what I wrote. What I was trying to agree with is that if you step back and look at the good things, life doesn't seem so bad. But at the same time, I still feel like -society- is crumbling. In the US, because I don't experience life in other countries.
