I think the first really definitive conclusion one can draw from living through the twenty-first century is that giving racists, fundamentalists, and technocrats billions of dollars is a Really Bad Thing that Destroys Civilization.

There's 74 years of the century to go before we've "lived through it."

We've barely begun to fight. (And it's already this bad.)

Although it doesn't change that you're right. Billionaires and bigots and biblebashers destroy civilization.
