The existence of other beliefs that were overturned, even ones with a high emotional value now does not support unrelated ideas.

Put more simply: just because gay rights campaigners were ultimately vindicated doesn’t mean you’re their modern equivalent.

How do you know it won't?

Just because some beliefs that used to be "wrong" are now considered "right", does not mean all beliefs that used to be "wrong" will in the future be considered "right".

As the quote says, "They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown."

Maybe a better comparison would be mutually assured destruction. Enormous, world-level resources spent towards trying to ensure an outcome for something that no one wants to have happen. Those enriched along the way were the purveyors, not the population.

This is a bit of a tangent, but I think often of how wrong it is that we allow indoor marijuana production in places like Canada and the Western USA where it's legal. What a horrible waste of energy.

I don't know for certain, of course; I just very strongly suspect it.

Ah, the brave crypto millionaires marching and fighting for human rights.
