I'd agree but I am getting on in years and have seen too much. Australia is just one election away from progressive foolishness. Russia is a kleptocracy but I doubt they really want to beat up on productive farmers anymore.
Reading a history of classical Greece is strangely calming. Things are good, then they get bad, then they get better, etc.
