Yes, but it’s not that things in the past were perfect, it’s that you could identify a general trend of things getting better. Sure, there were still huge problems, but you could believe it was just problems we hadn’t gotten to yet. Now we live in a world that’s actively going backwards.

I agree with you, but I’m too old and worn down to do it, and nobody else seems to be in much of a hurry either.
I don’t think it’s coming in my lifetime.
I have started donating to Corby 's new party, whatever it’ll be called. Hopefully it’ll grow into something meaningful
I have hope!
