   @zombierustpunk these two states always coexisted and wage eternal battle for people's minds and souls.

   Society is not built by the evil side, but it is effective reacting to evolving conditions.

   E.g., the Web was born out of idealism and optimism. But was soon confiscated by greed and exploitation of human weakness.

   Which now prompts people to pull their better selves together against tough odds to try to fix it (i.e., #fediverse).

   Only to be subverted again if we let our guard down. Etc.

     It’s depressing to take stock of the state of the world and see it as smaller than it was ten years, with darker clouds on the horizon. I yearn for a world where people are led by idealism and optimism, instead of cynicism and hate.
