Comment on do you remember a time when societies were so polarized and shifted so much to the right like today? How long did it last?

This is a big reason why I hated learning history. It is very depressing. I’m always amazed how people can’t seem to understand things they didn’t personally live through. It is a constant cycle of exploration then revenge on the exploiters and then a new way to exploit.

I’m trying to be hopeful, but it feels like we are in the phase where most need to suffer in order to get to a better place. Climate change is scary, but I try to remember progress can be explosive in ways you don’t expect.
