Nah, you’re mad at the gross inequities of the system, not at the advancement. There is no mythical perfect past, it never existed. That’s just nostalgia with a twist. People in every age had escapist fantasy. There is a brighter future, but it requires you to make it happen (and yes, that you includes me)

Even if it wasn’t perfect, there is legitimate appeal in a past where our lives were not dictated by abstract bureaucratic systems and better resembled our natural environment. We didn’t evolve to live this way and the only way we can is by contorting our minds into deeply uncomfortable arrangements and constraining our actions to what is demanded.
