I'm tired of all these post-modern french commies saying how bad modern society is. What are some philosophers that confirm that we are living in the best of times?

OP, everyone says that from the Catholic and Muslims integrists to the ethnonationalists to the postcolonial afropessimists.

>What are some philosophers that confirm that we are living in the best of times?
Liberal shills like Pinker. To some extent the philosophers of the Enlightenment (Locke, Hobbes, Rousseau, Montesquieu...).

Dante is a mid-tier fanfic writer with a skewed Catholic perspective. He was pretty based with his criticism of the major religious head of his time, that was really it.

But it is bad. Even a hundred years ago we had a better society. Half a decade too.
We have entered the age of decadence and no amount of technological advances or comforts will help us. In fact, the more domesticated we become, the more our bodies and minds degenerate resulting in a rotten degenerative society.
These French 'commies' are right.
