@pmroman@toot.community My deep scepticism about nostalgia makes me doubt there was ever a golden era in which the vast majority DIDN'T prioritise political survival (nothing wrong with that, imo, can't do much for 🇪🇺 from opposition) and not only national but also clientele networks interests. They refused to fund Sofia Corradi's Erasmus for many years in the golden era.
That said:
1. Everyone is 9 now.
2. Everything happens faster and stupider.

@Veza85UE@eupolicy.social @energisch_@troet.cafe And 3, most don't have memories of WW2 and it's aftermath, directly or indirectly by their parents, creating a carefree society without much understanding of human nature, danger and difficulty. It isn't nostalgia, it's my personal opinion that common sense, prudence, introspection, and patience are as short as the news cycle, if not completely absent from public life.
