That’s a fascinating question. I just can’t wrap my head around the early 2000s as a time of Excellence. I think of it as a time of impending collapse. You have 9/11, the start of decades long horrific Wars, growing Mass government surveillance and authoritarianism, extreme political fracturing, ramping up to a massive financial disaster, and so much more. Now that’s true of every time every time has massive flaws and Horrors in them, but that’s one I just can’t really wrap my head around thinking anything else of.

The 90s were prettygood. It kinda all started downhill with the Brooks Brothers Riot and SCOTUS calling a presidential election instead of the votes.
Started downhill isn’t right. Accelerated is closer.
Also a couple genocides thrown in there don’t forget.
