We have many problems to solve now and in the future but some perspective is useful.

From my original comment ^

Don't straw man. Obviously we have problems today. I'm not arguing that things are fine today. I arguing that from a historic perspective, today is a good day. Nostalgia for the past is such a bullshit privileged belief from non marginalized people. Study history so we don't make the same stupid mistakes again.

Your original post sounds like you think millennials are the first generation to have problems when in reality, our generation's problems are trivial in comparison to past generations.

I think Greg is talking about how despite people mentioning how bad things are, if the current situation falls apart, they'll look to the present era with nostalgia. Not that I say things are good as they currently are. It can be improved much more.
