yes, true in some sense, but i‘m not so sure that us „made it far“ really made the world a better place …
that’s sounds way overly pessimistic. Rape and murder used to be a daily on every street. People were treated like garbage or abused because of their gender or race, and violent conflict would erupt anywhere at any time. Now those things happen in pockets still but not like before.
I think it’s easy to be pessimistic cause it feels like we should have already totally gotten past those things. But that trauma lives on in our culture
i hear you, but i was still referring to what i wrote before.
And a second but is that the worldwide forward marching disgusting right wing assholes are bringing back at least parts of what you just wrote …
I’m not sure what you are referring to exactly, but I think the left and the right both have certain ideas that are very good and others which are pretty messed up, but more importantly I’m trying not to stereotype the left or the right because actually there are many many many ideologies mixed up in both and the “us vs. them” attitude only gives power to the loudest and craziest among them
