Perhaps it was always this way, but it has certainly become impossible to ignore: shameless, naked pandering has taken over every aspect of life, to the point where its absence generates crisis-level anxiety. As standards of living have risen, and as knowledge has expanded, entitlements have gotten more and more out of control. Actual progress has slowed to a crawl because any kind of progress that leaves anyone behind or inconveniences anyone else in any way is not considered to be progress at all. Telling anyone “no” is absolutely beyond the pale.
