It comes down to the paradox of tolerance. Abiding by civil discourse and norms puts the establishment (status quo) at a structural disadvantage.

Reactionaries, motivated by fear, fueled by resentment, keep upping the ante.

Liberals, conservatives (philosophical, not partisan), everyone else just can't bring themselves to believe the anti-majoritarian rhetoric is sincere.

Technological progress always disrupts society. Immigration always fuels xenophobia. Expanding the franchise always triggers backlash (retrenchment). Inequity always begats right wing populism.

The only notion I have is calm everyone down. Tap the breaks on tech. Stop advocating for immigration. Enfranchise people on the down low.

Most importantly, reverse inequity. Get the ginni index back down. By whatever means possible.
