No, people hate modern society because they understand that although things are better than they were they aren't nearly as good as they could be if it wasn't for rampant and unchecked corruption.
What's worse is that people know that whole ecosystems and stable climate patterns are slipping away and will likely never come back.
> How do you know how good things "could be"? Just because you can imagine something doesn't mean it's possible
It's not necessary to know how good things could be. Part of the meaning of life is to work towards a good you think could be, and the modern oligarchy strips us of that right.
That's just another way of saying that the way things are is optimal, and that we as a society have reached perfection, that we're doing our best.
That is blatantly wrong. Better is always possible and the people who steal and cheat the system are the ones who deny that better world for us all.
The Hitlers, the Putins, the Kochs and Epsteins and Madoffs of the world have made the world far worse than it needs to be for the absolutely worst personal reasons.
What's worse is that people know that whole ecosystems and stable climate patterns are slipping away and will likely never come back.
