Sure, they vote for Trump, Brexit and other populist uprisings in protest but when it comes to building a better tomorrow, they simply do not have an interest in doing so. Nature, beauty, true diversity, all is shoved under the bus to make way for me, me, me.

That fits the quiet materialistic turnings, the high and the unravelling.  Even then, the active turnings, the crisis and the awakening, are defined by briefer bursts of crisis war, religious revivals or social movements.  Most of the quieter times, a lot of the people, you get materialism and stay the course defining what is going on.  Yes, many of the people prefer it that way.

This does not mean there are not flaws in society that should be pointed out by the prophets, or transformations that used to require crisis war to solve satisfactorily.  Progress comes when problems become too hard to endure.  You can’t leave them lingering on forever.  A lot of people might try.  They will get into materialism and money and close their eyes to the problems, be they kings or slaves or capitalist robber barons.  The GI generation was good at seeing and solving problems, but even they went idle after their last great burst in the awakening.

I do see a progressive time as having the potential to come again.  Living with a disregard for science, ignoring the problems that the scientists promise are coming, can’t go on forever.  Trump is proving that a fact free deliberate ignorance of problems is a dead end.  

We will see.
