Ethnic/tribal hatred leading to murder, rape, pillage and slavery is the default condition of humanity. They now call it identity politics, antiracism, CRT and anticolonialism. What was rare was moving toward a free and tolerant society where people are judged by what they do not who they are. I remember thinking in the early 2000's how much progress had been made in my lifetime. I don't think that anymore.

That’s the thing that kills me. And anyone under 40 or 50 years old has no idea what progress has been lost or why it was so valuable.
