    Oh I know. But even then they’re intentionally inconsistent so the good and bad gets mixed in together.

      “some people suck”. That is the unfortunate truth of any society. But all my examples started as good things. Shitty people stirred shit into them. It has to be said that people who actively fight progressive movements are assholes. Any history book can tell you that, if they don’t burn it first.
