Nostalgia versus Progress
Nostalgia was once feared for hindering progress, as it was believed that longing for the past could impede moving forward. Progress was seen as a weapon against nostalgia. However, the belief in progress has dwindled over time as people feel stuck and desire easier lives. The concept of progress has lost its appeal, especially with the experience of stagnant growth and unfulfilled promises in daily life. As a result, some individuals are turning towards anti-progress narratives, finding them more relatable and appealing.
