I've only ever bothered going in one directions - forwards. Nothing crazy 1s/s. I'd say things are getting better and better. People are still people, but they're fighting shit that's more and more trivial. I see that as a great sign as it means the previous, bigger, more serious issues have gone away.

You're moving too slowly to see broader trends.

Speed it up and you'll see that sometimes bigger deal issues go dormant for full generations even.

Ah yes, progressive 15th-century Catholics would be cautiously happy if their child freely chose to marry a Protestant; progressive 21st-century Americans would be cautiously happy if their child freely chose to marry a Republican.
