This is half baked, to put it as kindly as I possibly can.
Here in the UK, it’s up to 35% according to the latest data. And that’s just in person. Online bullying has risen from zero in 2008 to 19%
So you’ve used the word ‘inarguably’ there, which I take as a challenge.
Bullying is not less widespread than it was before 2008. Anecdotally, I have two kids in high school and bullying is rife, it seems the environment in school is exactly as it was 30 years ago. This is the general consensus between myself, other parents and education/healthcare professionals that I’ve spoken to.
Less anecdotally, cyber bullying is now a thing. Kids can no longer escape their bullies by leaving school. This means that bullying is now immeasurably worse than pre-2008, which is exactly converse to your assertion, and may also be part of the cause of rising suicide rates. Social media’s insipid ability to reach into the same “safe” spaces with advertising-driven beauty and masculinity standards has a lot to answer for there as well, which also explains the diverging figures along gender lines.
It’s looking pretty catastrophic, the future. The climate catastrophe, the AGI singularity, and techno-feudal fascism are all imminent. Then, less imminent there’s the altered nuclear threat, antibiotic resistance, societal collapse (due to all of the above, plus unprecedented wealth inequality) to name a few.
Revolution in some form is inevitable, but it’s not guaranteed to be effective in making things better.
We’re about nine historical turning points deep already, but I think the big ones are yet to come and I hate it.
The only dogshit I see here is your over the top aggressive name calling.
History didn’t start on October 7th. “Hamas was the aggressor” is a false statement. Hamas is one of the belligerents in a war of occupation that’s been going on for a long long time.
I cannot believe that

A lot of GB isn’t either, to be fair.
“brevity is the soul of wit”
~Shakespeare
“Um actually, wit is actually a subjective phenomenon, with everyone having a different idea of what it actually means. How could such a construct actually possess a ‘soul’? And that’s not even getting started on the assertion that souls actually exist in any real way”.

I’m on the spectrum so I can neither tell nor give a shit! The soundness of what you’re saying is most important to me.
I’m not sure I follow you. Can you explain
In fifty years, people will be writing essays about why this comment makes sense and is hilarious.

Yeah I feel this. “Failed experiment” implies, to me, that we should forget this avenue of thought and go back to what we had before.
“Outdated concept” might have been better?
Either way we’re all in agreement fundamentally
Why though? Why is it assumed that people will boycott a show/movie if it has a known paedophile in it, while brands/political parties with a mass-sex-offender at the helm are just peachy?
