This is half baked, to put it as kindly as I possibly can.
Here in the UK, it’s up to 35% according to the latest data. And that’s just in person. Online bullying has risen from zero in 2008 to 19%
So you’ve used the word ‘inarguably’ there, which I take as a challenge.
Bullying is not less widespread than it was before 2008. Anecdotally, I have two kids in high school and bullying is rife, it seems the environment in school is exactly as it was 30 years ago. This is the general consensus between myself, other parents and education/healthcare professionals that I’ve spoken to.
Less anecdotally, cyber bullying is now a thing. Kids can no longer escape their bullies by leaving school. This means that bullying is now immeasurably worse than pre-2008, which is exactly converse to your assertion, and may also be part of the cause of rising suicide rates. Social media’s insipid ability to reach into the same “safe” spaces with advertising-driven beauty and masculinity standards has a lot to answer for there as well, which also explains the diverging figures along gender lines.
Hierarchy!
Man, don’t you know? The law ain’t made to help earthy cats like us. Here on our planet, back in the old days - back in the real old days - it was just every man for himself, scrooblin’ and scrat-scroblin’ for the good stuff, the greenest valleys. And the strongest, meanest men got the best stuff. They got the green valleys and were like ‘The rest of you, y’all scrats get sand.’ And that’s when they made the laws, you see? Once the strong guys got it how they liked it, they said ‘This is fair now, this is the law.’ Once they were winning, they changed the rules up

It’s looking pretty catastrophic, the future. The climate catastrophe, the AGI singularity, and techno-feudal fascism are all imminent. Then, less imminent there’s the altered nuclear threat, antibiotic resistance, societal collapse (due to all of the above, plus unprecedented wealth inequality) to name a few.
Revolution in some form is inevitable, but it’s not guaranteed to be effective in making things better.
We’re about nine historical turning points deep already, but I think the big ones are yet to come and I hate it.

I’m not sure I follow you. Can you explain
Yeah I feel this. “Failed experiment” implies, to me, that we should forget this avenue of thought and go back to what we had before.
“Outdated concept” might have been better?
Either way we’re all in agreement fundamentally

So, if, during the apocalypse, you have access to a means of passing on a message to the poor bastards who have to live in the New World, it should be this:
“Everything is made of atoms”
