I think I agree with you right down the line and I am optimistic. (The Jewish story of the introduction to the Messianic Age is filled with goodness, unlike the Apocalypse in Christianity). But at heart I have a mystical outlook; these behaviors have spiritual roots. As the Sages teach, everyone has some sparks of Amalek in them, but ALL can transcend the negativity.
The Talmud records “Some of the descendants of Haman [who in turn was a descendant of Amalek, converted to Judaism and] studied the Torah in public,” and even names R. Shmuel bar Shilas. No one is without hope.
I don't know, some of the prophecies are pretty scary (such as Milchemet Gog uMagog, the "birthpangs of Messiah," and the last pre-Messianic generation having the characteristics of a dog). At any rate, sweetness always seems to be in short supply and horrors are always readily available. How long can the world go on this way? I know: stupid question. It's always gone on regardless of circumstances.

Yes, even I have heard the teaching about Haman's descendants. It does give hope.
