Things have gotten better and progress has been made from times past, it just seems worse now because we have more access to information. We've come far, and have further to go!

It's not about time = progress, it's about showing that there was progress even if feels like we're in a shitty downward phase currently. I don't validate the numbers, just the intention.

It's fair to want to be optimistic and to want to fight against doomerism. I think OP was misguided at best.

To be fair, I don't think I was as clear as I could have been either. It's just that post just has smells of neoliberalism has fixed the world propaganda. These are the same kinda statistics they use to justify an immoral and unethical economic system. I think a lot of people agree and get slightly triggered seeing these same untrustworthy statistics paraded around.
