ok, I'll bite:
1) What do you mean when you say “enshitification”? How is the world getting worse? By what measure?
More violence, more bigotry, paying more and getting less not because things cost more but because stock price, minimum wage not tracking inflation while political donations do, Donald-Fucking-Trump as POTUS, cyber attacks at a truly breathtaking pace, healthcare and the entire fucking tragedy that is in the US, women's rights, body autonomy, a stock market where market makers can legally and literally steal money from everyone else, CU literally legalizing outright bribes to congress, the rise of US Nazis, the entire fucking state of Texas, judges who ignore any and all legal standing and common sense that enact the stupidest most regressive horse shit, corporations dumping chemicals into the environment by the metric ton and "suffering" profits for it, and much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much, much more.
How about you step outside sometime and look at the world you're in?
2) Are there any counter examples which could disprove your thesis?
There are counters, but they are generally outliers in practically every instance. The simple fact they are outliers is the entire point I'm making.
3) How does the world today compare to the world at other times?
Tech could have been a great thing, but it's being used to abuse people at a greater scale, now, so win?
3a) Why is the world better today?
I would say something like better medical care and that care does exist, but only for the rich since most people cannot afford it. Why? Human greed.
3b) What was better before?
Very little.
At no point did I say I pined for the 1860s. You're confusing me with Republicans.
I'm just tired of the human model of "shit on everyone I can, because fuck you, I'm getting mine". I'm fucking tired of people committing crimes for decades, and when caught saying, "I'm sorry". I'm tired of watching a country kill another countries CIVILIANS because they can.
Look at the world's choices.
A 15th carrier group or feeding kids in school?
Tax breaks for those that need them the least, while those with less money pay more or the reverse?
Food Stamps and the ever forward marching of less and less being spent on this very real need.
Social Security. A system you're forced to pay into, while congress plays fucking Lucy from the Peanuts with the benefits. Even going so far as to label them as "entitlements" in the shittiest possible definition of the word instead of entitlements, because its fucking owed.
How about the constant lies and horse shit propagated by media? Not truth, not facts, just bias with the sole goal of selling ad space and consequences be damned.
Maybe I just wanted more of humans than the current "fuck those in need" or "shit on minorities to make ourselves feel better", etc.
I'm truly glad you find the world a better place than I do.
YMMV and I sincerely hope it does, but let's put down the PollyAnna-tinted glasses. That's not the world humans built and pretending it is, is simply disingenuous or wholly ignorant.
