Ok, but compare yourself to the rest of the world. There's literally almost nowhere better to live than in Canada. You're assuming the current state is an aberration and that the status quo of the past is somehow obtainable. But most of human history has been profound suffering of the masses. More than likely, the good times of ol' are the aberration and aren't coming back.
Another thing to consider: the entire wealth of Canada and the U.S. is predicated on a genocide. Yea, it turns out when you're not killing people and taking their land, it generally gets more expensive over time.
- somenameforme 3y agoIs that past an aberration or rather something we're actively destroying? We spent literally trillions of dollars on Iraq. By the time Israel and Ukraine are done, we'll also be into the trillions there. This is money that could have been used to have improve society in countless ways. Get humanity to Mars? Sure, it's literally a rounding error on the scale of the money we completely squander. Fund a million startups? Sure, why not? A trillion bucks can offer a million dollars to a million startups, which is kind of mind boggling to even think about. One can think of near to any cause, and they could all be exceptionally well funded with all the money we waste on war and geopolitics. Because war has this amazing magic trick. It can take a trillion dollars and just make it disappear, like it never existed, with nothing to show for it. Houdini couldn't hold a candle to that sort of wizardry.
