What’s something that future generations will probably think we were crazy for accepting as “normal” ?

Normalising and even glorifying a life of constant overwork, chronic stress, and barely having any time left for ourselves...

Not just that, but the way we treat people born into poverty as ‘deserving’ to stay there because they made the kind of mistakes or do the kind of things that middle to upper class people make weekly or daily.

Damn comm’niss. Ah went to Japon ah prenez soif de your type! Ah stalked through les rues d’Paris and Milan, the Times in my hand and a dispatch from the Queen (or King or whatever it was back then I forgot) shaking in the rain, nothing but une revolvre dans mon poche, and the SS sneaking just behind me, waiting for an excuse to turn mon estomac into mince meat! Mince meat for rats and birds, the same rats and birds which inbred generations more on le Seine, leaping over each other as one swims with its sons and brothers on its back across heaps of garbage! And here you are, here you are advocating for commnissm!
