Are you a white male? Becuase for a lot of society, the world has gotten better, though it may not always look like it. Hell, 50% of humanity is female, and there is no way it's not better than when they couldn't even open a bank account without their husband's blessing. So for at least half of human kind, it has by most measure improved drastically. It also used to be extremely looked down upon to not be religious, and now we've cast off that decriminalization. Not forcing people to participate in make believe is kind of a big deal.
By what measure are you not sure the world is better? Because by almost every measure of what is happening in the US, they are getting WAY worse by reverting a lot of progress than had been made in individual freedoms, and it's so obvious it shouldn't even need explanation. But maybe it does?
