Sure, but now we don’t do that, so we’re better. The best, in fact! We solved discrimination! Good job, boys and girls! (But just those two…)

This is why I tell people that life (not just history) is far more nuanced than we expect. We think we’re better, but I’m sure that future generations will judge us. I mean, we think we are lgbt tolerant now, but I distinctly remember growing up 10-15 years ago when a lot of people casually use “gay” to dismiss something they don’t like.

A lot of people judge us now. I do. Fascism is on the rise, people are convinced immigrants and trans people are the source of their problems, and people still think socialist ideas like food stamps are evil.
Lots of people suck.

When I was in school, a question that comes up is how could anyone let fascism took place before. Our generation is finally seeing it again. A lot of people are sanewashing and still arguing whether we’re under fascism. There’s the answer: we’re frogs in boiling water.
