I mean, build a country with a functional economy and social mobility, and maybe people will feel more pride

You say that like it's everyone else's job to do that. So long as you (and by extension everyone else) carry that attitude, nothing is going to change.

No one knows how to do that. Global civilization is in decline. Canada’s been very lucky to be mostly free of war but that’s about it.

The true problem of democracy is that it’s the government of a million tiny special interests, each of which screws over the entire society a small amount in order to benefit themselves a larger amount.

This is a very Western oriented perspective. The West is in decline, yes, and currently other options aren't great, but areas like South America might flourish as Western imperialist reach withers.

We're in for hard times either way, but if you're going to use a word like "global" at least think globally.

I’m not seeing it. If anything, South America is moving hard right faster than anyone else.
