    I fucking hate that this is true.

    I fucking hate that after people have died and the weekend is won, or women can work, or slaves are free that the people who do steadfastly clung to the previous status quo now are suddenly enlightened and can see the advantages of those changes.

    Why are people like this?

      Still too optimistic. The people that clung to the previous status quo didn’t become enlightened. They stayed just as bigoted, but they died off over time.
