I think you underestimate how quickly the world can change. You have lived a US-centric life where all of popular, social & political culture has been dominated by progressive, liberal & Western ideas. Your way of thinking has been seen as the gold standard - not that of, say, the average citizen of the Phillipines of Kashmir. Over the next 10-20 years, that is going to radically shift towards China - a collectivist culture with a set of values diametrically opposed to the social norms you're used to. You don't think you're going to feel a seismic global cultural shift away from the value system you grew up with?
