I mean what they are actually saying is that if they define the current times as hard, the people living right now are at the very least in the process of becoming hard themselves. So not only do they admit they must have been the ones who created these times, thus they are weak men, they also admit that we must be the strong men.
I vaguely remember someone here had an anecdote of responding with “Oh, so the people from the hard times of 1918 Russia were strong men?” and got left on read. (it is a silly method of historical analysis, but if it at least shuts that sort of person up)
Whenever people say this, they conveniently always see themselves as being the “strong men” lol
