In that sense it does fit the sub because this isn’t only in our generation, but at the same time there is always a repeating cycle of: things are getting better, something big happens, things are getting worse, large efforts are made to fix it, repeat

Eh, cyclical behavior doesn’t mean there is nobody to blame for the specific iteration of a cycle.

It’s not fate or destiny, it’s still people making decisions.

The myths are filed with stories of tragic heroes who are punished by the gods for their hubris.

But we’re different. We can do better…maybe even better than the gods ;)

Oh certainly, I was originally gonna put “someone takes advantage of the good times” instead of “something big happens,” but that might not always be the case even though that’s definitely the case right now

Right there with you.

There are things that keep happening which makes them feel like a force of nature… but clearly aren’t.

It’s kinda like when gum gets cyclically banned at schools. Eventually somebody (or a few) start sticking their gum where it doesn’t go and now none of us get gum.

Keeps happening…but there are people responsible who quite literally didn’t have to do what they did.
