> I don't know about that. In many ways the 80s felt a lot more free. Sexual morals were much more open

...unless you were gay. I'm old enough to remember how casually homophobic 80s society was. (At least in the USA).

Yes, I remember gay people getting beaten to death just because they were gay. There was a lot more crime too, the peak being in the early 1990s. Now it's not so much criminals we have to worry about (we still do), but out of control cops and government.
