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.

@mralancooper Optimist.

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.

If only we'd had some previous clue about all that, eh, @mralancooper?

Some sort of age of fascists we could all have learnt from.

Humans are slow learners

@2legged True. I suppose I could say the exact same thing about the twentieth century.
@mralancooper or, in short, capitalism must be destroyed
