You're not helping and I suspect you know that.

Everyone needs to block people who have nothing helpful to say while trying to make us feel like idiots for having hope. It seems obvious to me that there's a reason they're doing this and it certainly isn't well intentioned.

    Or, I'm pushing 70 years old and have had my hopes crushed so many times, that I feel the need to warn people about what is not going to happen.

    You're actively trying to leave a feeling of despair and hopelessness for the next generation. You say it like it's a public service too.

    If you're 70 you have experienced the Sovietunion falling apart, relatively peacefully. Biggest miracle in recent history. All it took was a somewhat reasonable leader (Gorbachev) coming after a series of senile nightmares. Eerily similar to another country today. There's always hope.
