It’s absolutely accurate when people say the world is living in unprecedented times, but there have been more than a few eras of history that were blessed with the same insane and unsettling energy. As a generation, for many of us this may be our first or second time experiencing uncertainty and suffering – for some older people who may not meme, it could be the fourth or fifth. And while we aren’t celebrating the pain or tragedies of previous decades or centuries, it’s kind of nice to remember that we’re far from alone. After all, to many of our ancestors, the 2020s may seem like a golden age of peace and innovation. It’s all about perspective. And while we don’t want to be the butt of the joke, it’s only fair. We’ve been laughing at history memes for years. Maybe it’s just our turn.
