>>216959106Everyone thinks the current drama is the only drama that ever happened in the world. It is not. There are always periods of drama, and have been as long as the world has been turning.
>>216959693It doesn't mean drama was constant though.It means that history has cycles of dramatic and confortable periods with some more dramatic than others, and even these periods are parts of greater cycles of increasing or decreasing properity.These scattered dramatic periods are those recorded as "troubled times". But History isn't one big trouble and trouble isn't a fatality.

>>216959106This one's my personal favorite because of how undeniably true it is.>>216960270I never liked that song because it came from him. "WE" were yuppies enjoying a priveleged life of all the finer things while society's bottom ate all of that shit. It's a false relation where Billy Joel tries relating to people he ultimately didn't give a fuck about.
>>216960109Global trouble doesn't exist.Trouble is always related to one's own group interests.
>>216961054Not really. You could live in Uruguay during WWII and still think of the time period as being one of trouble.
>>216960372How will I know when we’re in Good Times?
>>216959106nothing ever happens
>>216961263Better be always unhappy just to be safe
>>216961263When you're living like 90s kids with cheap houses, cheap cars, cheap food, streets are safer than they are now, and overall people are happier, then you'll know.
