Oh yes, the 60s, when racism was still written into law, the Vietnam War was raging, and the world was on the brink of nuclear apocalypse but hey, at least we went to the moon.

The Syrian war (an echo of the Iraq war) is still raging, and the world is still every day on the brink of nuclear apocalypse (With a longer-term, slower, climate apocalypse looming in the distance.)

I don't care about the Moon, and besides it, the problems in 2019 aren't much different.

Just because the current time is worse in some aspects doesn't mean it's worse in all.
