Well, different times have different problems and different solutions.
In order to raise hell about conditions now, it woudn't occur to me to
think slaves had it worst. I think in terms of what we could be having
now that we don't. And in many respects, I believe the present time to
be more grave than any other time, not just for a group of people, but
for the whole species. Not for nothing the Bible says we are living in
the Last Days, even if we have different interpretations of it.

The fact that we needlessly keep polluting, for example, demands a
quicker solution than slavery in 1861. Yet we proudly keep driving
SUVs like nobody cares. And we make it all worse, we cyclists are
denied safe space on the road. And all of this is happening while the
very endless wars that Orwell warned us about are draining the
resources that could go into alternative technologies and
infrastructure.

So it is that this age demands a change in thinking as well as the
priorities that we have. Thus the need for the revolution!
