The USA in the 90s (and the West in general) was close to perfection IMHO.
The USA in 2023 is a nightmare. Woke culture is the ultimate downfall of the West, which makes me quite angry against the Western Left. I'm usually seen by my friends as someone who's rarely angry, but this woke culture (neo-marxism) makes me angry as f***, because this is a mistake that should've been avoided. We should've remembered what happened in the USSR, Cambodia, etc.
People don't care about history (or at least, they have a very trivial knowledge of history).
