It's the backlash. I keep telling myself this. It's the inevitable reaction to real progress, from the people who don't want progress and see it happening anyway, and the right response to it is to /keep going/.

I think it's the backlash, too. So much of this is the rage of people who know their moment is passing. That's why so much of it is so nihilistic, why there's so much 'burn it all down' energy; they don't think they can win, they just want to smash everything.I think it's the backlash, too.
