The reason is the news, period. Nothing positive ever gets covered. What you hear is: - the planet is getting worse - US centered News about how they banning something means the end of the world. - education is getting worse And everything negative, because negativety gets you clicks, its an endless cycle because of algorithmic timelines. While in reality education has massively improved and people are getting out of poverty faster. A huge exception is the current news. Because of the Ukraine War, its obviously why is everyone is negative now, you hear about nuclear war risk, millions facing risk of famine because of wheat and food shortage, and many other things happening currently. So I would say its understandable why everyone is so negative currently, but the negativity that existed before Covid is for sure, caused by News, which caused the divide in America which is unfortunately now spreading to other countries.
