The first person never said that we had it perfect, but holy hell, people were a lot nicer to each other and we didn't have nearly the social problems we have now. You still had your ass holes back then, but the amount of truly good people, who cared about their neighbors and civic duties outweighed them. As soon as we began outing traditions that all started going down hill. It's like they think they can disprove thousands of years of human experience just because we are "smarter" now.

That's exactly it. And they'll always bring up one of the negatives of those times in order to keep us distracted and unaware of the problems in todays society. Problems that were brought to you BY them. By their utopian ideas that they knew how to fix everything so that everyone could be "free" and "happy" and "content".
That their "solutions" ALWAYS lead us to larger and more difficult PROBLEMS must be swept away SOMEHOW. If you pay attention you can clearlyy see the many creative ways the distract and hide their consistently failed ideas.
