Things have gotten better and progress has been made from times past, it just seems worse now because we have more access to information. We've come far, and have further to go!

Oh, look, a bastardization of statistics to defend the status quo wrapped up in "positivity" bullshit so if you call out their nonsense, you look like an asshole.
There's a special place in hell for people like @Godric.
Jesus dude... It's ok to acknowledge progress and still realize there's more to be done.
Try using the logic OP is espousing and applying it to other things which that logic has been employed to defend the status quo and keep certain people on top of society.
We can take the most obvious example, black people in America. At every single turn black people in America have been told to praise the freedoms they've been given by their slave masters then later by white people. We heard this same logic in the summer of 2020, literally 3 years ago, when black people were protesting, "we've come so far since the days of the past, start being grateful and positive." So, saying that there's more that needs to be done, but it's "positivity" that they've been given some more rights is pathetic.
All this type of logic and people like you are doing is shutting down people, attacking the moral wrongs and questioning the status quo of society, who are fighting for a better world. Shame on all you.
