"Things can always get worse" is a pretty shit justification to say things aren't bad now.

No-one is saying that all is fine. Yes, there are loads of big issues right now, but we're still living better and safer than 99% of all the humans that have ever lived. We are not living Ina dystopian world.

“We are not living in a dystopian nightmare”
”The fact that things can always get worse justifies a lack of effort to make things better”
”All is fine”

These are three different statements. Not the same thinfs.

Can we fucking stop with the sloppy quoting? Nobody in this thread is responding to what anybody else is actually saying.
