The average kid thinks that because a system is older than they are, that it's been perfected. Socialism, communism, etc, are equations that were never finished but ideas that look good on paper. The human factor that is the real level at which someone will work for people besides themselves, for nothing but a pat on the back and enough bread to survive on, gets more irrelevant the longer they stay in their internet echo chambers.

We haven't "solved" much in the past few centuries, but they believe we've conquered the hunger, transportation, corruption, and pollution issues of the world enough to move issues like gender identity and bullying to the forefront of our attention, and it's an elitist, misinformed stance.

It hit me at some point that a chunk of the things we think we have technologically (but usually just have names for) are still a ways off and while we think of ourselves as an advanced civilization, we're not as far along as we think. A century ago a good amount of humanity was still shitting in holes in the ground, in outhouses and privy pits. We still have people without electricity, but now we're just as worried about giving them 4 bathroom door signs to choose from.
