this is maybe rambling with many assumptions I don’t agree with exactly. but I really like it and want to hear more critique of it from more commenters. strong upvote.
I certainly hope someone can reasonably prove me wrong as well. The best retort I’ve gotten is that “this is no different than when a young child is forced to go to school for the first time. They have to deal with an extreme overwhelming change all at once that they’ve never been equipped to deal with before. They cry and throw a tantrum and that’s it; they learn to deal with it.”
My counter-retort to that was “You do realize that just proves my point, right? Because now imagine, all at once, tens of millions of 4-to-5 year olds threw a tantrum, except they also knew how to use guns and bombs and had good reason to fear they were actually never going to see their parents again unless they used them. Nothing about that ends remotely well.”

yeah this seems to me more likely than not to be the way things go bad to me. I’m interested in critiques because I don’t have one to write.
