Which I think is part of the reason why mental health is so bad these days. But here's a quick test. Quick, name some conflicts and wars from the 80s:
Maybe you know, but I think a lot of people won't recall that a million folks died in the Iran-Iraq war. A million died in Afghanistan. A couple of hundred thousand died in Lebanon. And that's just the middle east.
In Africa a quarter million people died in Sudan, Uganda, and Angola EACH. Like a million people died in the Ethiopian-Eritrean conflict.
Now imagine if there was a twitter during these conflicts.
War/conflict and their casualties are objectively down since the 80s. The major difference now is we have more info and pictures of the conflicts that are going on today.
