“Better” is very loose and generous, only because we have modern technology. All it means is more people can stay alive and placated to endure servitude under the merging, universal corporate despotism. And that’s not fear-monger. Rampant greed is being traced and associated to the ongoing, record high inflation rate. Gas, pollution and micro plastics is currently ravaging global climate and environments.

To say “everything is better now” is relevant only in comparison to the past. The stakes and threats currently, right now, is higher and more dangerous than anything humanity has experienced in the past.

“Everything is better now.” Everything is more volatile and dangerous now than it ever has been.
