Well AIDS was scary as fuck but Australia didn't have to worry too much about the cold war. Life in the 80s was generally pretty cruisy.

This. Were it for me, 70s, 80s and 90s on a loop forever and sucks for those countries/people who lose from it, but they have to sort it out themselves.

Literally an attempted genocide on the gay population. I think it's fair to say life was pretty tough for them.

Repeat after me:

No climate crisis + cheaper housing + no Tiktok = better times No climate crisis + cheaper housing + no Tiktok = better times No climate crisis + cheaper housing + no Tiktok = better times No climate crisis + cheaper housing + no Tiktok = better times No climate crisis + cheaper housing + no Tiktok = better times No climate crisis + cheaper housing + no Tiktok = better times No climate crisis + cheaper housing + no Tiktok = better times

Also where I live there wasn't any "attempted genocide on gays".

no Tiktok = better times

This is boomer brainrot for it to make a three-item list of modern problems. People said the same shit about TV and even about books, not that I'd give tiktok much credit as an advanced medium in the same way those were. But it's just philistine to consider it a great societal evil on par with climate change and the housing market.

Also where I live there wasn’t any “attempted genocide on gays”.

You all may perpetrate one yet considering the direction your country is going in.

I could have go on much longer, and of course Tiktok is not even close in the same league as climate change or the housing market, but still, those times were better than now.

I hate Meloni and her party and if the government was couped tomorrow i couldn't be happier, but she's just all talk and no action and most Italians aren't as politically charged as Americans are. We just are apathethic, sadly.
