I don't think this is remotely true. The rise of China as a notable geopolitical force, the wave of populism across the world's democracies, the return of interpower conflict (by proxy, so far), the retrenchment of globalism, the rapid decline of organized religion as a political force in the US: these are just the big headline-grabbing trends off the top of my head, and I didn't even touch on the societal changes caused by bringing the world online.
