The world never went anywhere and your sad post just proved that. It was just a naive leftist illusion of the surface of society that people got better. But underneath, people are still the same and they can not work with- or even admit the existence the dark sides of their own souls. So they are like a pendulum between political correctness, artificial tolerance and hipster individualism; and racsim, open hate and collective guilt. Or they are like a pendulum between what they wish to be and what they really are.
Now we all are going to the era of collective darkness, because we were not able to work with dark side on individual basis. More and more people were simply fed up with the propaganda that we live in the nice world, while the world is still the same world full of atrocities, unjustice and so on. So people do not want leaders with fake smiles telling them to go on with that and smile too. People want to express anger and destruction and they want the leaders that do that as well and thus allow them to act disgracefully.
This documentary from Adam Curtis goes deeper:
We are all bloodsucking ticks, hungry, devious
each one latched on to the ass of the previous
when the last and the first latch on it can be shown
ass-blood sucked by the first from the last is his own
