Genocide is always righteous at first. Then people years later feel special for saying it was bad, when everyone agrees with them.
I heard this somewhere. If you go into a crowded room in most places in the world and say "slavery is horrible and slave owners are terrible people and we should free slaves" everyone will agree with you and it isn't special, brave, or revolutionary to have those thoughts. Now go back in time to Southern America at a slave auction and say the same thing. Most wouldn't, most who mock and laugh at the ignorance of people in the past are themselves ignorant and perpetuate a different form one what they mock. They want us dead, they want us locked up, they want children restrained, they want children to be essentially enslaved. It's okay though now, it's accepted. It's what people feel is right. 50+ years from now people will feel so brave and great for saying paedophiles are people too and children are sexual and they deserve to express love with one another. It won't be special then, only a few would do it now. |
