Nah, ain't no one woke up to anything. Every decade proves that human beings are capable of bad shit. Even those you would consider good, are going to have dark thoughts about someone or something. I guarantee you that there's some hidden darkness in Mr. Rogers, Levar Burton, and Bob Ross that never got revealed. Probably stuff they never even told another person. There exist people who know they are capable of really bad shit and have enough forethought to keep it inside them.

I take it as a wild ride to know that while I may not be the smartest or any kind of -est, that I have enough awareness to know that blind anger will never lead any place good. It may get results and even last centuries, but it's a hollow victory. Along a long enough time line, the victims are likely to become the oppressors. The watchers become the watched. And, the powerful become weak.

This also suggests a possibility that some beneficial bacteria go rouge when there is a imbalance https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36256871/

You throw the crib door wide, and let the people come inside. Then you give them a rock to wind a piece of string around. Because everybody wants a rock to wind a piece of string around.

This sounds like a brand new record! For 1990!
