Panel #3 reminds me of an important historical fact.
Susan B. Anthony died in 1906, and the 19th Amendment was ratified in 1920.
The most well-known suffragette, who worked for equality and civil rights her entire life, did not live to see her life’s work realized.
Progress can be slow, but don’t let that discourage you. We work to better the world for future generations, not just for ourselves.
The problem isn’t that progress comes too slowly, it’s that the slowness is intentional and manufactured.
I don’t think that it is. The progress of society is slow because people themselves are slow to change.
I think so too. It is not only the task of replacing ideas, but in actuality it is the replacing of people that drives change. New ideas take root in young minds the most, and in old minds the least. Renewal of the population is also a renewal of the ideas that comes with them.
I think this is why everything goes downhill so fast currently: the boomers are still clinging to power, and i don’t think humanity has ever had a generation that was this persistent at keeping the younger generations from replacing them in their positions. These older people do not have the mental or emotional learning capacity left to keep up with social development, and lash out in every possible direction.

And sometimes things even go backwards.
care to elaborate further?
Drag feet, opponent will forget or be distracted, then just do whatever you want
It’s pretty self explanatory. Compare the US to any number of more progressive countries.
Wasn’t she a raging racist?
No, she was raised in an egalitarian Quaker family who was very committed to social reform and she was working towards the abolition of slavery as young as her teens.
Yeah, but she didn’t want black men to vote if white women couldn’t.
She worked for suffrage for both groups. Reconstruction was going on and Black suffrage was a very new thing. She didn’t want women to be left behind in civil rights, can’t say I blame her.
Yikes. I guess it was more of a selfish pursuit of power and colonial American infighting than a wholesome stand for righteousness and equality. And John Brown spun in his grave once more.
Just wait until you hear how obsessed with George Washington John Brown was
I read a bit about it and, whilst uhhh "interesting " to say the least, it didn’t change the fact that he lived and died for the enslaved man, whilst that lady was just a colonizer who didn’t like her cut. 🤷♂️ But nobody’s perfect, I know, I know.
