People used to live in literal slavery, women couldn't vote and were considered property in all but name, 12 year old kids were working 16 hour days, 6-7 days per week in coal mines, a business could have you thrown in prison if you owed them money, and union protestors were literally murdered on the picket line by hired Pinkertons. We benefit from a ton of progress that previous generations fought, bled, and died for. You're being incredibly disrespectful towards those people who fought, and died for our rights by saying we haven't progressed. Yes, we still have progress ahead of us, but don't discount all of the progress that has been made. This is just a short list too. There are a hundred or a thousand areas where we're better off than the people holding these signs were.
