I do wish I had more optimism on that front. At least in the short term.
Zero-sum ideologies are so embedded at an institutional level (and so easily exploited for profit) that for a large and growing number of people, the ends more than justify the means… from surveillance to censorship to imprisonment. Or worse.
A big chunk of society is going to have to be okay with occasionally piping up for the rights and interests of people they have been conditioned to hate. It feels a long way off, I’m afraid.
