    With humanity, it’s always two steps forward, one step back.

    The USA ended slavery, then introduced segregation and share cropping.

    They ended segregation, then started the war on drugs to imprison minorities.

    They elected a black man, then a fascist.

    Similar things can be seen in other countries. Russia got rid of communism, then elected Putin. China opened up, now they have a dictator.

    But, in general, the direction is forward.
