Look, I'm not here to tell you that nothing ever changes, but none of what you're complaining about is new. You talk about an ocean of mirages yet you're clearly looking through rose-colored glasses.. Politicians have always been self-serving liars, that was no different in the 1980s and 1990s. Instead ancient relics pushing "tech tyranny", there were ancient relics pushing state-sanctioned racism openly. Titans of industry like Jack Welch were given vastly inflated and undue amounts of respect for financial engineering tricks and clever marketing. And half the upper management of any sizeable company was snorting cocaine. Crime was several times worse than it is today. Yellow journalism has always been a thing albeit perhaps cyclical in prominence.
