    Except they never will be. Even as dark as things seem, the objective numbers and actions show that there are more good people out there than bad. They want you to think that isn’t the case so you give up.

      However, you can pretty easily get into situations where the ‘good people’ stand by and do nothing, allowing the bad people to do very bad things.

      Going back to the OG example, even at the height of the Nazi regime’s power, only about 30% of Germans were actually Nazis. But when the majority of ‘good people’ don’t stop them, that’s more than enough for them to exert absolute control over a country and commit horrible atrocities.

      They want you to think that isn’t the case so you give up.

      Well, going by historical examples, that fucking works.
