How could it be that a political system which remained largely structurally unchanged since the freaking 18th century isn't equipped to deal with everything that has been going on in the world since then?

It must be due to bad actors.

They weren't nonsense until we had people in positions of power decide that they were.
At the end of the day, pieces of paper are just pieces of paper.
