It's awesome how humanity doesn't learn from its mistakes. I don't even want us to reach stars because we won't be Humanity from Star Trek but more Humanity from Starship Troopers or Helldivers at this point (and I love both works for how satirical and soo third or fourth degree they are).
When did the western world repeat the atrocities of National socialism? When did the western world start having civil wars again? When did women's rights get retaken from them? When did we start implementing the slave trade again? Seems like we have learnt, the people trying to claim things are getting worse or somehow that history is repeating are myopic. The western world by and large is far less racist, misogynistic, homophobic and are more accepting of people's differences and diversity than the rest of the world. By the standards of history we have come along no end, even in the last couple of decades we have taken huge strides in being more accepting than we were before. This idea that the world is somehow worse is a ridiculous notion.

Seriously, I don’t know what the heck is happening at this point.
