Human history is a deeply vexing thing to be in the middle of. It’s frustrating how people who should damn well know better are just as eager to buy into this shit as other americans.

Multiple millenia of civilizations, and what do we have to show for it? A doomed, perpetual battle to keep humanity from gleefully following through on their worst impulses. Almost enough to make me think just scrubbing the entire human project thing might be a good idea because there just plain doesn’t seem to be a way to fix this shit on a permanent basis
