This poor idealist would have an aneurysm if he had a portal to today.

Everyone thinks the world is crumbling because of modern politics, but ‘modern politics’ have been killing us for thousands of years.

It’s very hard to fix things when we can’t even get people to learn that they’re just remouldung yesterday’s issues. Many of these issues have already been solved, but people don’t want to hear the solutions.

So let’s just keep on killing each other, because that helps.

An idealist from 1924 would probably come to the conclusion that overall, the world has changed for the better. Well, until you explain climate change to them.
