I see it with my own eyes that after 9/11 things are getting worse. Not sure how it is not clear from my previous answer

  Sure! I don’t necessarily disagree, but what is your point of reference? If September 11th 2001 was the end of an era, what was the starting point of that era? The fall of the Berlin Wall? Something else? Was the period before that starting point more or less authoritarian than today?

  That users point is that the first half of the Cold War was way more authoritarian and so pre-9/11 is not a benchmark in itself

  I'm not sure you are old enough to remember but at one point a progressive president was aligned with the ku klux klan and put a dissenting socialist journalist in jail.... Just because. Not too long after (different president), shops were required to put emblems in their window showing they supported the regime's economic plan.
