So what though? If it gets to the point of having to violently overview the government, we're past the point of precedent. We can just use their beloved AI to scrub social media profiles and purge them from the voting registry. Sure they'll believe that was the plan all along, but we'd have a few decades where the scales were tipped so far in our favor that their children and grandchildren could be properly educated without all the revisionist bullshit.
That's the key, right? You've gotta build a society afterwards that doesn't perpetuate the cycles of abuse and enlightens people with education. One that doesn't exploit anybody and doesn't have a class structure that divides people. That's the only way you can build a society that can reliably raise every child healthily. Any society that strives for equality like that will necessarily have to ignore the voices of those who want to hold it back.
Then you begin a thousand-year cycle of violence and reprisal for that violence until our great great great great grandchildren have no idea why they hate this group of people they live next to.
There's a precedent for this, you might have heard of it.
There's ample of evidence that a couple of decades to reeducate their children and grandchildren simply isn't enough or doesn't work.
We had a couple of decades to educate everyone about fascism,... and yet we're here.
Trying to educate people who insist on being lost beyond salvation is a waste for everyone involved. If they love the sword so much, let's let them die by it and let's move on past their era.
We allowed them to rewrite the history books. We're here because education was so fucking bad. I grew up in California and was taught that MLK's I have a dream speech solved racism in America and that the civil war was about states rights. There's lots of room for improvement.
