    It has the same flaw as every other overreaching evil. We outnumber them. A significant number on our side is willing to kill the other side.

    Ima die in the crossfire for sure. But the evildoers always assume they are going to win and they literally never do. They always lose. Expensively.

    It’s a dying echo. Nothing more.

      Yes but we are effectively disconnected from our mutual self interest. We should already have risen up together and our complacency is a testament to their existing ability to pacify us.

      The losing that you’re talking about happens on the scale of centuries, not years. History shows that empires built on malice can last for centuries. Look at the Romans, for example. Even the Soviet Union lasted 70 years.

      If this echo dies out in a hundred years, what good is that going to do my son and myself?
