People often point to the terrible things in the world as evidence we're living in "the worst timeline". What examples are there of things that suggest our timeline is actually better than it seems? (feddit.uk)

What makes me think this is "worst timeline" is that i fear things will start regressing and we will have to go back to the beforetimes or worse. And in some better world where people are less apathetic it might not go that way.

Well, surely the timeline where those things are already happening is worse?

We will all get what we deserve, whatever that is. I hope its not the worst thing but I havent seen any real effort to resist, nothing to rally behind. If starving to death or being murdered for your things in dying planet isnt the worst timeline i dont know what is. Hopefully this wont start happening in my lifetime or that at least i dont have to make it not happen in my lfietime. I dont understand how people can have kids anymore.

Sorry to say such horrible things but it feels like this shit is just pouring out of me now..

I get it. The world needs some hope again, it all feels so bleak right now.
