I agree with the sentiment.

Sometimes people say things along these lines to say "look how well we have it these days!" It's disgusting, it invalidates the suffering people are going through in the present. I like how you phrase it, because it reminds us that neither that or the idea of the "good old days" is really true, that we (at least we who haven't been colonised or subjugated within our lifetimes) are living in a sort of hell and have been for a long while.
