Why has the world gone to shit?

Tiger Jerusalem@lemmy.world to No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world – 384 points –

In the last 5 to 10 years everything seems to suck: product's and services quality plummeted, everything from homes to cars to food became really expensive, technology stopped to help us to be something designed to f@ck with us and our money, nobody seems to be able to hold a job anymore, everyone is broke. Life seems worse in general.

Why? Did COVID made this happen? How?

I really liked your comment until you dropped a Bible verse.

Yep.. Turns the post from somewhat interesting/meaningful to preachy and judgemental.

I'm not religious, but I think that was a justified bible quote, it describes the point made, and theres even an alternative example. I get that religion has done a bunch of bad things, but that was a harmless quote.

There's never a justified Bible quote and for you to say that and not be religious is bizarre.

Eh, I can see your point, and the commentor also mentioned jesus in another comment, which is weird and annoying, but I think in the original comment it was being used as a way to show that this idea has been around for a very long time, and give more credence to their point.

I would certainly never quote the bible, and it is kinda weird, but I don't think its bad enough to be worth discarding their main message.

Well I'm sorry that upset you, but doesn't the song more or less convey a similar message?

It didn't upset me haha. I'm saying you seemed intelligent and I agreed with your point and then you drop some Jesus on me. May as well be preaching the flat earth or the lizard people.

So you're saying you'll accept the same message when it comes from a black man, but not when it comes from a Middle Eastern man?

IDK, sounds kinda racist if you ask me.
