    I’m only chiming in because I suspect that crashing and burning won’t actually help much.

    It’s too easy for humans to disassociate ‘other people’, at which point, anything can happen.

    Sure, crashing and burning might lead to a better system to work with, but that basically happened to Germany a while back and they seem to be struggling with a fascist rise lately… Seems like constant vigilance might be needed given our insecurities that drive us

      There’s definitely a good chance we’ll go right back to this shit in a few generations, assuming we get out of it this time.
