I am just really struggling with the past 25 years or so. Basically everything so far this century.

There was genuine progress on so many levels. Sure, there was a lot of bad happening too and the progress was primarily in what was 'the west' (outdated term by now). It was also a tortured form of progress as it was tied to capitalism which was never a good thing but in regards to human rights we genuinely moved forward. Attitudes still had to catch up in many places, but still.

But then, over the last decade, it all started to reverse again. I really did not see this coming, and as someone who belongs to multiple minorities it really really worries me.

I understand the sentiment behind it, and it has massive ties to capitalism and how that ruined everything, but there's a very big level of stupidity here as well. And it's getting worse.
