This is literally the case all the damn time in every single era of history.
I don’t know how old you are, so I can’t even guess what your perspective and context on this subject might be. All I know is that at 55 (born in 1970) it sure feels different right now compared to how things have been for most of my lifetime. To me, at least.
And that’s normal, this is the case for literally everybody. Everybody looks back at their youth with nostalgia because that’s when we had the least amounts of responsibilities in life so everything seemed so much simpler and better. However, if you actually go and look back at the past few decades, you’ll see that we’ve had all of the issues in the OP. Riots, wars, genocides, idiotic leaders going rouge, misinformation campaigns, pollution, poverty, and the list goes on and on. Every era has its own unique set of problems and crises that it goes through, and this has been the case for all of history.
