We have made such progress, and yet we are a stone's throw away from barbarity. It's frustrating to see people idealize the past in light of that.

I adore history. My eyes get all starry when talk turns to empires and city-states and revolutions of old. The past is a fun place to visit - but you sure as fuck wouldn't want to live there.
