    I don’t think that’s true. There were violent riots accompanying every major social change in at least recent history.

    And famously, it took an entire fucking war to end slavery in the United States.

        Well I mean, slavery is still illegal. Black people are able to vote, hold office, own property, etc.

        There’s still a lot of social injustice to solve but there’s been a lot of progress, albeit slow.
