When the alternative is man Vs nature in a constant struggle to avoid violent or hungry death, or even worse - slavery, then we gotta count our blessings. I'm also greatful for every day I'm not plowing cotton fields with my hands or operating machinery in a factory.
There it is, the good ol' false dilemma
This is undoubtedly the more healthy attitude
There are more options than "be a wage slave who has been so beaten down by the system that they have nothing left in their lives" and "be a hunter-gatherer hunted by lions."
That's a lazy-ass dismissal to a serious problem. You could have at least put in some bitching about millennials spending all of their money on avocado toast.
