I can't disagree with your quite excellent comment. All I can say is, people are nutbags.
I don't know the answers to your questions or to mine however don't feel like there's much hope for humanity, and your comment cements that thought.

We're only about 160 years past the era of chattel slavery in the US. While the Civil War was objectively not waged with the goal of ending slavery on the part of the Union, it was necessary for Lincoln to fully embrace the fringe abolitionist rhetoric to justify the ongoing conflict and imbue it with a sense of moral crusade. This wasn't long after the British and French ended slavery in a haphazard but non-warlike fashion. Progress looks slow when you are building toward it. We may well be on the cusp of a "Great Awakening" of individual responsibility and rejection of coercion.
I'm not counting on it, I'm just saying I'm not "black-pilled" on human progress.
I'll be be dead inside of 20-30 years, or even much sooner perhaps; once that occurs I'll not know what happens...but the trajectory we're all on doesn't bode very well in my opinion and I don't see enough action occurring to alter the (seemingly) inevitable destination. I could be wrong, of course, it will all play out after I'm gone, you too probably...and in the meantime all the little things we roll over and accept, the wrongs that slowly become acceptable to the majority, mount up, and compound.
It's just my opinion based on what I see, what I've seen and been through and the fact that humans are very slow to learn in respect of something positive and very quick when it comes to creating conflict and ways to destroy each other.
