We had slaves for fucks sake, women couldn't vote, there were no weekends, there were no employee rights laws, there have been countless advancements in medicine and technology made, tying the entire world together and allowing conversations like this one, to happen. All of this leads to a more open and understanding world. In the past, the protesters would have just been shot, now they can openly protest, right or not.
We have freedom of religion, unlike in the past where if you didn't believe, you were killed or tortured. All of these things occur in minuscule numbers today compared to the past. We are just aware of them all immediately because of the globalization of media. This leads to a false sense of living in a scary, evil world, when the reality is quite the opposite.
