Study history. The chance of dying violently is the lowest in history. And evil people have always been in charge.
The fact evil people have always been in charge is not a plus in the humanity is OK column.
From my original comment ^
Don't straw man. Obviously we have problems today. I'm not arguing that things are fine today. I arguing that from a historic perspective, today is a good day. Nostalgia for the past is such a bullshit privileged belief from non marginalized people. Study history so we don't make the same stupid mistakes again.
Your original post sounds like you think millennials are the first generation to have problems when in reality, our generation's problems are trivial in comparison to past generations.

I think Greg is talking about how despite people mentioning how bad things are, if the current situation falls apart, they'll look to the present era with nostalgia. Not that I say things are good as they currently are. It can be improved much more.
I don't know how to help you personally, but I'm sorry to learn you're in your current situation. Thanks for sharing it, I have no way of knowing otherwise.
I'm sorry to hear about your situation. That's really rough. I hope you can get the support you need and deserve.
