Y2K, the ozone hole, and acid rain are the trifecta of serious issues that were solved competently before they got out of control, and as a consequence are now remembered as never having been a problem at all https://t.co/tuIbBixJ1v

All massive potential problems that we fixed, so now all have been retconned into being not really a problem.

Another example: A few weeks ago on Tumblr, I saw someone claiming that because the Allies won WWII “easily,” that shows Hitler wasn’t really much of a threat. Therefore, by that twisted reasoning, the Allies shouldn’t have been fighting against him. That’s a hell of a bit of historical revisionism there, isn’t it? But these days, any hard problem that was overcome shows it wasn’t really a problem, therefore nothing should’ve been done about it. That’s some “logic” for you.
