You have to consider the current trajectory of the situation, though.

the trajectory is moot; not even Babe Ruth could hit a baseball through a building. something always stops trajectories - and we've already seen more than a few somethings where Trump is concerned.

Reactionaries are gaining ground all across the world

aw man, not again! wait, yes again.

and especially with younger people. They clearly have the momentum and will only get stronger if present trends continue.

again.

You need to show me some good reasons to believe that these trends will not continue.

its the same reason the bemoaners (no not you in this case) were wrong that languages are constantly crumbling around everyones' ears, always growing getting worse and worse, til one day all that will be left are grunts and hoots.

also, the reactionaries are getting face-eating leopards.

If you refuse to resist the fash, then do some conlangs or something. It's up to you to make something of your life, not us.

among other things, nonobedience.

The problem is that the reactionaries have an overwhelming advantage in everything from funding to propaganda to firepower

and I can't see any plausible way of closing any of those gaps.

...which proves you haven't been paying attention to anything except your attempts to spread misery.

um, why?? no offense, but I don't think I'd trust you with 1 billion.

deplatform hundreds of influential pundits, and more.

you're forgetting youtube. everyone can be a pundit.
