Material wealth can be positive sum because we can add to it in discrete components.
Social status is innately relative, and as a function of that is innately zero sum. The lower classes have more absolute wealth than they did in 1800, but they don't have more status.
Meanwhile the US has to fight a bunch of wars in the middle east and compete with China.
And Russia doesn't have the same issue? They are in the Syrian conflict and countless brushfire conflicts in africa on the GDP of Italy.
Add ocean fertilization
Ocean fertilization relies on capture in the shells of diatoms as carbonate, which is much more of a stretch than presented.
I mean the rebuttal I expect to see is to ask if those represent progress or a rebound to further-left than it was before.
Is being allowed to discuss freer-but-not-freely on some subreddits and X/twitter a win? Certainly it isn't the wild west I remember.
Your other examples are a change in vibes in some places, which I think is important but is far from an actual realization of a win.
I am not quite blackpilled, but I've not seen many wins for the Rand Paul clan of the red tribe and I don't see a path to get there.

Visa and MasterCard see pornography as high risk because they get a lot of chargebacks, so they charge adult services producers a much higher rate for payment processing.
Movement to the high risk list has certainly been used politically in the past, but this is pretty standard.
