Our goddamn federal government is posting memes about putting families in concentration camps.
I'm jealous of the kids that will learn about this era in school in about 60 years.
It's going to be a really interesting social studies subject linking the rise of Web 2.0 to the fall of America
some people call me a crazy optimist when i talk about a beautiful idealistic future where in 60 years kids both exist and learn in schools
It does feel that way sometimes, but humans as a species are shockingly resilient. This isn't the first crumbling empire we've had to deal with, nor will it be the last.
We got some scary tools now though. We've never been able to fuck up the planet at this scale.
Sure, if by "humans are resistant" you mean that they massacred millions of us before anyone stoppped them.
The same way we learned? Haha. History is cyclical.
Goebbels would have too if they had social media.
