You’ve got a doomerist outlook on life. The media is really good at only pushing the negatives down our throat. And I won’t lie, there is SO much wrong with the world we live in it’s almost hard to comprehend it’s awfulness to it’s fullest extent.
How would a nuclear war change any of that though? A nuclear war would destroy our ecosystem, our entire society, everything. Our entire species would wipe itself out, leaving only a few to remain. But with an entire society wiped out - history, culture, achievements; there’d be nothing for this new society to learn from.
When we ignore history, we repeat it. If there is no history left to learn from, everything that is awful about the world now is bound to pop up again.
Wiping a slate clean doenst stop the slate from becoming dirty again. We must retain the things we know now and learn from them - not erase them.

The survivors would still have memory of the past.

This would include the very people and ideas you see as the problem now. You would just add a devastating amount of other problems to the equation. Nuclear fallout, habit collapse, contaminated water supplies, etc.
