Consider the Alternative...

Actually, this instinct towards thinking that anything must be better than what we have now is what has historically led to the establishment of fascist, communist, and other totalitarian regimes. People assume that if the current stagnation and inefficiency is so bad, ANYTHING must be better. Bad actors are more than happy to swoop in, take power, and prove them all wrong. 

When you think about it in that context, it suddenly becomes a whole lot less funny, doesn't it?
