That would only be snobbery if they were wrong, or wrong to think so.
Of course they would be wrong. Any blanket statement of that sort is going to be wrong because it fails to understand the complexity of human existence and relies on sugar-coated versions of history.
In truth, there's always give and take. Some things will be better and some things worse. Even when comparing things like the modern day and the dark ages, there will be positives and negatives.
Those who love Fairy Tales always know that morality hangs by fragile threads.
And those who love history know that morality is ever-changing and generally absent on the large scale, no matter what time in history we are talking about.
