Nah

It was always fucked up, it's just a matter of realizing how fundamentally shitty reality is.

>>689529851
I can fully understand that, but we've progressed so much as a society since, say the Crusades, yet there's still so much shit wrong.
By the time everyone realizes they're being complete faggots, we will have killed ourselves off.

That's bullshit, with the world in such bad shape litterally anyone can make a positive impact.
Be conscientious and responsible consumers, to start

What is new, there is huge growth in all forms of technology, creating bounty-full amounts, but the rich has gotten far better at squeezing the money (I>G), hence the standard of living is dropping in most 3rd world countries

>>689529512
OP, grow the fuck up. The world has always been a fucked up place. There has never been a point in history where it wasn't fucked up, and there never will be. It's just so much easier to see how fucked up it is nowadays because of the internet and social media.

Yea the media is ruining the world, it does nothing but highlight the bad and and put the fear in people. We're never gunna be able to join the galactic confederate if humans keep showing this kind of behavior.

Actually The World has never been less fucked up in terms of violence... Of course there Are other questionable things but Keep in mind that pretty much everything bad happens cuz of psychopaths,sociopaths,narcissists and borderliners(alsonot all of those), People who are not educated an shit. to put it even simpler: Its humanities stupidity to overcome its own drives and deal with their own emotions responsibly. Because those People Are The People who follow The above mentioned People into shit like is. Its those people who make The bad Guys powerfull... Like a self fullfilling prophecy

>muh environment
Why are you complaining? Anytime you can walk into Walmart and be surrounded by nature from every corner of the globe

>>689535300
I disagree, I think all the worlds problems come from human selfishness. Any other problem is natural.
And in terms of world left we have never been worse off. How can people worry about violence when the human way of living is putting us in existencal crisis eight ways till Sunday?
Violence is only going to get worse once when the system that supports all of us is broken anyways.

>>689535858
Selfishnes is a drive. Selfishness comes from out turbo capitalistic ways of living with all that competition and Need for consuming for status n shit. Status to get laid and reproduce. So yea stupidity, or lack of self reflection. Thats why we Need wars, The stupid ones fight till Death for some reasons thats none of their Business actually while The smart ones avoid it

>>689536342
I think our real fundamental flaw is that we have came up with a new system of living outside of nature. Civilization is still completely dependent on nature but is exploitive and is consuming more than can be given? Why do we do this? Most people don't know that it's happening.
This is what makes civilization inherently unsustainable. In order to survive we need consider the natural worlds impact on us and our impact on it in every aspect of life.

>>689529512
You can thank liberal ideology for that. They never blame the responsible party; it's always someone or something else's fault. There are no consequences. For example: Swimmer rapes a woman, spends only 2 months in jail. Muslim kills people, it's the gun's fault.

Once everysingle human is connected via on the line using one single means of communication, then the mother earth will develop a colective conscience and being to heal herself. And that's when we can spread and take over the galaxy. Muhahah.....or some shit like that.

>>689529512
Crime and poverty is at an all time low, and we are closer to world peace than we have ever been, (most wars are fought internationally against very small regressive ideological groups who are on their last, desperate legs as the enlightened world moves on without them. This is as opposed to nations and empires and entire races not 70 years ago) science for the most part is triumphing over religion, and we are more personally interconnected than ever, and the internet, the printing press of our age, is spreading common ideas and grounds faster than anything ever before.

There are serious problems to overcome, and huge threats to our way of life, that never changes... But all in all we havent "become fucked up". We are better than ever.

Media needs us to watch, and we love tragedy, so its all we get. Yes it still sucks out there and shit happens and we must continue to progress, but its still better than ever.

On all fronts besides environmental, the world is better off now than pretty much ever.

The media makes money by selling fear, and buisness is booming. Don't fall for it.

>>689529851
No, no something different has been going on since 2008 or so and much more so since 2012.

Shit like this didn't happened at the 90's at this rate. It simply wasn't a part of our reality.

>>689537713
Crime and poverty are not at an all time low, especially the past couple years. Both those trends have started reversing and are no longer true.

>>689539935
The huge amount of violence, aggression, unrest and general societal divisions of the past few years. Things really do seem to be falling apart at an accelerating rate.

>>689530506
Yes.

You consume too much media. Crime and violence have been declining for decades.

The violence you're talking about is only wars between states, civil wars and death squads have been on the rise for some time. If you're paying the least bit of attention you would see that our civilization is getting more violent for the past couple years.

Life is shit. The world is too peaceful. First world countries hold all the wealth and food leaving others in want. The weak are allowed to mooch off the strong. I vote that we disarm all nuclear weapons and go at it with rifles, tanks, explosives, and trenches like the old days. Winners get the world and all of its riches.

I literally just gave you FBI stats. What you're saying was true but stopped being true a couple years ago. Violence in the US is on the rise, civil wars are breaking out all over the planet, the US is the most divided it's been for 150 years, all of these things are verifiably true.

The world was always this fucked up, and actually now we are going through a golden era in diversity and tolerating diferences.

That things have changed in the past couple years, are you even reading the posts that I make?

>>689542016
Which is why I posted the statement from the FBI that violent crime is on a dramatic rise. How many more times do I have to make this comment?

Society has to do away with religion and other primitive practices in order for humanity to move forward as a species. Eventually it will happen. More and more people are becoming enlightened to the fact that creation is a very high probability but an all knowing omnipotent God that controls the fate of a man is just not true. Religion was a means of to try and understand in a time were it was the only logical answer and used to control the masses. It's a primitive way of thinking and is one of the largest contributions to social instability only second to resources.

I really don't see the point in arguing with you, because you are what you hate. You need to check your facts more thoroughly. You can't claim that crime is on a "dramatic rise" without specifically stating, yourself, what counts as violent crime. Every single instance that the FBI has controlled for or accounted for. It even means less that you're waving the FBI around as a free pass to give everything you type credence, without really showing that you understand what it is that the FBI has to do to even obtain this information.

I want you go to through the list, and tell me what a violent crime is, and whether you agree with the FBI.

For all you know, 2017-2044 could have drastically lower crime rates across the board. We don't know that, because we don't have the data.

>>689542974

>>689536342
Damn good point

>>689542974
The gist of the article is that the general trend is rising and it's focusing on homicides, using the word "sharp increase" I don't know why you're taking it so personally.

Okay guys, I guess articles reporting on sampled data are infallible when they include data that most likely hasn't been vetted for nonsense. All data is infallible. No scrutiny needed. It's like they're incorrigible. It's like articles are word of God, oh my. I've sinned dearly. Probability forecasting has a 100% guarantee, and everything is made of chocolate.

It's like the only places I've ever been to are /b/ and "college"! Wow!

No one said that. You're turning into a preachy Facebook liberal, /b/ro. Picking and choosing when statistics are convenient for your stance and discarding statistics which are inconvenient.
>All data is infallible. No scrutiny needed. It's like they're incorrigible.
Real talk--take a deep breath.

Hyperbole and sensationalism. Those lend credence to your counterpoint.

But the article is talking about homicides, not murders. It even suggests that murders rates are dropping.

>>689544217
