It felt like the world was making really solid progress in human rights from the 1990s onward. Once the crazies on the right decided to have their voices heard about their absurd conspiracies it’s been slowly eroding hope. I am a massive fan of free speech, but good lord how much can we take before these asshats start destroying the democracies we all hoped would bring the world some peace?

It’s not super surprising since, if you look at history, there tends to be progress, then pushback, progress, then pushback, over and over. Progress was the 90s-2010s, now’s the pushback. We just can’t let the pushback win.
