I would say that it wasn't us, the ordinary people, who created this terrible world, but we definitely allowed the worst among us to do so - and we even rewarded them for it, so that this monstrous world is now ruled by the most ruthless, like a monarchy that was believed to have been overcome. Apparently, civilizational progress is not bound to the passage of time, as I strongly suspect that we are regressing civilizational: back to absolutism with its degenerate rulers who give free rein to their perverse desires - and they can do so, because they are at the top of a society they exploit with impunity.

Well put and yes, that's sadly true. We just sit there and watched people seize control who should never have had ANY kind of control over anything in the first place. This species sadly highly rewards the psychological dark triad (or tetrad) so well, it hurts. The worst that humanity has to offer has the highest chance to lead it. Not even a question of sex or race or anything, it's just us.
