I've seen a few people point this out in this thread, but, seriously? There's a generation that are going to say the 2020's were the best decade?

I think that suggests:

1) Things are getting worse from decade to decade and,

2) If you weren't alive in an earlier decade you don't know how great it was.

(Personally, I saw the creek start running with shit when cable TV exploded and at the same time trash AM talk-radio began. The 70's were the last decade when we weren't hating each other.)

Black people in the South may disagree with you that were still feeling the remnants of Jim Crow - which my still living parents grew up in. I can guarantee you a lot of people “hated them”.

Ask Ruby Bridges - 71 years old - how much people hated her for just going to elementary school.

Of course we can always find a marginalized people for any generation. I am speaking as a white male though and not for everyone else.

Of course things were great for White men when an entire part of the US population were kept out of opportunities by law. “Separate but Equal” was the law of the land from 1898 to the 1950s. As were laws against interracial marriage until 1969.

This isn’t de facto marginalization this was encoded into the law.

The 2020s will be the best decade for people born in 2010-2020, because they haven't grown up knowing anything else.

But this implicitly assumes everyone experiences the 2020s in the same way which is not true. Yes it's a shitshow for many people but for an a not insignificant proportion the 2020s are pretty great.

Wondering who those people are.
