Yes we are.
One might wonder why people would do this?
I believe we have a large and growing population of very VERY dull people who have been systematically deprived of any chance at mental development.
These are mostly your GenX millennials who attended public schools.. They have no idea what it means to do without and all aspire to be instagram or YouTube celebrities. The Left has destroyed any work ethics that may have existed by offering free shit and unearned wages to the incompetent and uneducated . They have made college education both unaffordable and worthless.
Then like you said, we have the ultra deep pockets and they have come to believe they are Gods. So much better and far above everyone else that they alone are entitled to make the law but will always be above it.
Many on the Left are atheists and as such see this life as their one and only chance at happiness and fulfillment so all they care about is power and money now. They have no faith in or need for heaven, hell or a hereafter. And this is making for a very immoral and dangerous society.
I dunno man. seems the best of humanity is in the rear view mirror. I don't see a mechanism for improvement at this point.
