How do you guys cope with the fact that the world isn't getting any better?

I'm really worried about the state of the US despite being a white male who was I'll coast right through it. I'll also accept "I don't" and "very poorly" as answers

That’s a very relative and personal question. Because for me the world is getting better. Not everyone lives in the US, here we graduate university with money saved instead of being in debt
Yeah, this is why I've urged so many people to shop around for a country like they do a job. See what country aligns with your values, with your goals, with benefits, etc. and start working to get there. You don't have to stay miserable if you feel like your country is not where you want it to be and you're not the one to help fix it.
Even in the US, there are tons of people who can openly live their lives who could not even 20 years ago. OP's conjecture reeks of privilege.
The US has socially progressed and many people enjoy more individual rights now than in the past. But the material conditions have stagnated for most. The US has a political system that is responsive to social and cultural conditions but not to financial or material conditions.
