It’s just exposure and acceptance (or lack thereof). Fifty years ago we (the US) were carpet bombing neutral countries as part of a bloody war to prop up a brutal dictatorship. Around the same time, we were shooting protestors and systematically shutting minorities out of civic involvement. A couple of decades before that, we put a hundred thousand innocent civilians in concentration camps because of their ancestry. Less than a century before that, “the land of the free” had laws allowing people to buy and sell other people. And slavery was never really ended: the 13th Amendment has a big fat exception for prisoners, which we’ve taken advantage of ever since. What’s different now is that we find out what’s happening more quickly and in a way that makes more people take notice.
