...do you think that in order for humanity to function we constantly need to be changing? You never think that maybe we level off at some point and settle into a groove where we leave shit alone for awhile?

Have to considered that maybe we as a species require both to function? We need progress and then periods of stability before we get bored/restless and decided to take over the spice trade in our neighborhood?

Light and dark. Yin and Yang.

We need progressives to push for change and we need conservatives to pull the reigns back when we try and change too much too quickly and things start falling apart.

My point this entire time was that good people do bad things. Bad people do good things. Humans are complicated. Our history is even more complicated. At no point has any side or group been "right" forever.

Yeah you're right: we need fascists to make sure we don't give minorities too many rights, we need monarchists to make sure there's not to much democracy, and we need anti abolishonists to make sure we don't free to many slaves.

What a stupid fucking response to what I said.

It's like you didn't even read my comment. That or you read it and proceeded to understand exactly none of it.

Whatever dude. I'm not gonna waste any more energy trying to talk to you fuckin morons. None of you are even capable of having normal conversations anymore.

Good night.
