Imagine what humankind could have accomplished if we didn't have to divert the majority of our energy and resources to constantly beating back fascism and bigotry.
So much human potential spent holding back the same exact fucking thing every single time. We fought a world war over this shit almost a century ago! Why the fuck do we still need to constantly fight this shit. It's exhausting.
Edit: spelling/grammar
This is why my backpack has a patch that reads:
"Evil is boring"
It's literally the exact same words, the exact same playbook every. single. time. And it's exhausting.
Evil is not capable of creating anything new. Like you said, if we didn't have to divert our energy to fighting this nonsense, so much more creation of new, good, interesting things could be accomplished.
