Again, no climate crisis + no mass surveillance + cheaper housing = do not give a shit. Were it for me, 70s, 80s and 90s on a loop forever. You lose something from the loop? Tough shit, your problem, not mine.
Yuuup. Sorry, whenever I complained about climate change on Reddit I was just shrugged with "oh well, too late, you'll die", "muh China/India/feedback loops", "just move North". So, they give me back the climate, the economy and the freedom of the 80s and then I'll care again.
Fair answer. My point is that my frustration with the modern world is absolute and shit like this doesn't help, and I see whatever problems there might have been back then as irrelevant in comparison.
