ButI think you are right on here. This arc of history bending toward justice stuff is poppycock.
May bend that way for a bit but will go right back to tyranny.

What ages are the commenters here who disagree with the statement? I stand by my observation and think it’s important for me to learn what is the conflict.

Thanks if you care to participate.
