Soon, as we enter firmly into a long and grinding depression, the 1990s are going to look like even more of a belle époque.

And inevitably even more goofuses will come out of the woodwork claiming that, “It’s just because you were a kid!” Even though I and many others observing how comparatively nice was that era were full-ass adults during most of that decade. I spent half of that period as a paratrooper in the US Army, which is no one’s idea of an easy life.

It’s just another example of a basic denial of reality in service of substitution in of ideological astigmatisms.

But such is modern life.
