> sliding towards authoritarianism I think that we are at a time where there is more public input, whistle-blowing, outcry over corruption, democratic processes, and so forth than ever before in history.

We should not confuse the matter: to think that the sum of our current challenges imply the lesser to be the sum of historic challenges.
