(26,314 posts)the depths the worst of the worst are willing to sink to the point it dooms you to the direction you seek to avoid and makes you a willing and eager warrior against what you believe as long as the wicked are willing to sink lower and the alternative is willing to chase them.
I don't see what is hard to grasp about this concept, you are openly stating that you can become an ardent supporter of Jim Crow as long as the alternative is slavery. Slavery becomes dandy when the alternative is genocide.
There is almost always a worse to be had and the logic gives too much an excuse for politicians supposedly on our side to do whatever they please as long as it is arguably more palatable than the ship the delusional, theocratic, shitheels can peddle and at times what the worse we can imagine they might come up with.
I can't go there and that is based on reality, the scope, gravity, and depth of our problems don't allow it and pursuit of such would all but prohibit any practical tools to make any substantial difference in trajectory.
I don't share your faith that one day demographics will shift and bring in an Age of Aquarius, there is no magic and no demographic franchise on greed, stupidity, shortsightedness, or ignorance. Human history and physics are not your friends there and certainly there is little magic to be had almost anything that happens ever is an effort not just what happens with time.
