Toot

@susankayequinn I have this theory of why evil keeps winning that feels related: I call it "the relentless assholes theory of human behavior"

Basically it boils down to the fact that being a reactionary asshole is simple and low-latency, so they always move first, and never run out of gas. In fact, if somebody is a reactionary asshole, the more tired and beaten down they get the better they become at making reactionary asshole maneuvers.

Meanwhile, being thoughtful and kind and proposing good courses of action that are well-reasoned and strategic takes more time and energy. People doing that kind of work get tired and burn out and can't keep up with the endless torrent of bullshit that reactionary assholes can effortlessly summon.
