> The problem is that when the world changed a century ago and it became clear that a sizable chunk of the population were actively trying to shift society in a bad direction
It was almost 2 centuries ago, and it was never clear to normies that the new direction was bad, or even significant. Most of them just continued as if nothing was happening, allowing your proverbial river to carry them wherever it happened to be going.
There are many times and places in history where things have taken a bad turn. The Wilson era, the Obama Era, the LBJ era, WW1, WW2, the Reformation, the Avignon papacy, the Enlightenment, the French Revolution, etc. Every human empire has adopted changes that brought about its own decline. The greatest hubris of the Neoliberals is the belief that they solved politics even as they destroyed the prosperous society they inherited.
