It’s strange to say now is one of the best times in human history. It only makes sense if someone is aware of how shit everywhere was not that long ago. Removal of native populations, enslavement lasting thousands of years is unfortunately not unique to the Americas, actually pretty common in human history. What’s unique about the past half millennium is the rapid development of technology and the increased reach of these behaviors. Typically people were just genociding and enslaving their immediate neighbors before. Quite unfortunate timing for central America that the Aztecs were fucking everyone up and enslaving them just before the Spanish arrived for instance. The east African slave trade to the middle east is essentially ongoing to this day but gets very little attention.
If you live within the American empire, perhaps. Would you tell the Iranians, gazans, or Lebanese that now is the best time in human history? As the global billionaire pedophile elite tries to genocide them out of existence?
What two time periods are we comparing exactly? I’m talking about time spans of hundreds and thousands of years. In that context things are generally better. These current situations are unlikely to last hundreds or thousands of years into the future. That’s to say generally the quality of life will continue to improve over time with humanities development of technology.
Right, you’ll finish the genocide and then pretend you feel bad about it.
Also, have you not heard of climate change, lol? Quality of life is already starting to drop precipitously. Young people can’t afford housing and food at the same time, and soon we will be facing famine and war.
Once again what time scale are you referencing? To actually have this discussion I need to be aware what you’re comparing to. I’ve already explicitly stated what time periods I’m speaking about. Like is your reference 1980’s in a particular country or globally?
So instead of having an actual discussion and explain yourself you’re just going to be rude? You called me a child but I currently see only one of us being childish.
Was it made that way before or after the genocide of the native Americans, and the enslavement of millions of Africans?

You sound very naive and ill informed, lol.

Don’t worry about it, kid.
