Why does it feel that the evil sides globally are winning. Even evil people are winning. Why?

Because the return of massive wealth disparity - similar to having kings again - has allowed those with money and power to bend the world in the direction of some form of dictatorship, whether it be fascism, oligarchy, whatever…. The New Kings are carving up society and want to increase control and profit, and an authoritarian governance is the way to do it. Just like how they treat their corporations. They are dictators, the little people are disposable production units to feed their machine.
How did we overthrow Kings again? Something about us becoming ahem “Enlightened” during some sort of era or period? What can we learn from the successes and failures? How did Europeans get ideas of freedom, autonomy, equality, and question of authority from when all they knew about was Kings and Divine Right? Did they perhaps go to some kind of ahem New World with a matchcoat and musket to live and trade amongst the natives for 200 years?! Perhaps there was some sort of ahem Indiginous Critique on European Culture that sorta blew the minds of the French, English, and Dutch alike? Perhaps they wrote some plays about this! That they could disobey or :gasps: impeach their leaders? That pursuasion and reason might be more important? Perhaps over some coffee and pipe tobacco? Oh right, next thing you’d think i’d say is they didn’t trade or so much as look at silver? How they MUST have had a “Market” how else could goods or heirlooms possibly trade hands? Certainly not gifts, quests, or gambling! Jeez, I wonder if we still have something to learn from these ideas that were just too darn complicated for Ben Franklin and Jean Jacque Rousseau!
Because you listen to news that makes money by sensationalizing everything for profit, and happy stories don’t sell papers. There’s plenty of uplifting stuff happening in the world every day that flies under the radar.
Maybe you have this filing because live is anadrome of evil.
Too much internet.
Because people have become comfortable enough (can’t remember the downside) to flirt with populism.
Once they get the short sharp shock of what it actually means to be governed by these people we might recover from it… Maybe

Because good natured people don’t want conflict so they avoid it.
Bad natured people actively seek conflict and engage with it whenever possible.
Evil never sleeps. Peace does.
Extinction Burst.
Because that’s what the news and social media is talking about right now. The zeigeist is currently cynical
Evil has always dominated. Look into history and… yea
Monarchies ruled the world, religions brainwash people, witchhunts, wars, famine, and slavery, all the evils was 10 times as bad. We are living in the most peaceful time in history (well… aside from the Climate Change 🙃)
Social media, and mass communications make everything seem worse than it actually is.
We need more violent good guys
Because it is
Evil is relative
It feels that way to you because China/Russia are winning and you oppose them
Because of doom scrolling and 24/7 negative news coverage.
Fact of the matter is it is easier to destroy than create, so if evil was as rampant as people think, we wouldn’t have a society. We’d be living in Mad Max. The vast majority of people want stability.
there’s no good or evil. those are constructs that aren’t suitable to describe anything that’s happening
