There's no place behind us in history that has the master key to what we're about to experience. We need to have the courage, creativity, & heart to envision a world better than has ever been created. We have to imagine it and do the work of creating it, because I guarantee you that those on the other end of the spectrum are doing exactly that.

Slavery but we can just arrest somebody on false pretenses and then get free labor forever? Well that's even better than the last time!

Completely controlling who gets to have children & when & how, but we can make it illegal rather than just frowned upon? And we can deputize gun-toting neighbors to go round them up? Well that's just Jim Dandy, ain't it?

Tracking protesters by photographing who's there and then hunting them down later using mobile data? Well hell, we don't even got to get them at the march then, do we? Who'da thunk it?!

They may not believe in science, but they're not stupid. They may not seem to have morals or ethics, but they definitely do. The idea that this is all just happening at random without anyone controlling it is the worst kind of liberal conceit. Worse than conceit - it's actively dangerous to underestimate enemies with this many minds, that much power, & the inertia of history behind them.
