I would argue it's the other way around, the developed world has gotten a lot worse over the last 20 years (more like the last 13 really, it was fine up until like 2014) while the developing world has steadily improved as things like extreme poverty, the prevalence of disease, and childhood mortality gradually decrease.

You misread my post. I said that things have absolutely gotten better for the developing world in the past 20 years while for the developed world it's a lot more nuanced. I do agree on 2014 about then is when a lot of socially harmful stuff started really taking off.

Oooooh my bad, we're completely in agreement then.

Yeah last 12 years have unfortunately seen the normalization of a lot of toxic political extremism that's definitely made society worse.
