LITERAL WHITE SUPREMACIST
A fair few people cast the present as host of the greatest outrages for ideological reasons but there's little traction for this argument in actual material measurements or otherwise. This is not a defense or advocation of capitalism or how technology has been applied, it's simple observation that the system has produced a better world by most measurements. There are reasons to be anxious and skeptical about the future, primarily climate change, but also social relations and birth rate collapses, workers losing income and power, but it's pretty questionable whether these really warrant pessimism in great magnitude.
