I hear you, friend. A pyrrhic victory is the kind of victory we've long always suspected (if any) would take place. With that said, if the victory were a triumph I fear generations to follow would soon forget the lessons of darkness to light we are playing out now.
That's a really good point. Maybe we should be thinking less about how this will impact us, and more about how the future world will look at this moment.
I get your point and applaud the cool word you used. To measure the cost of victory though, a clearly defined moment of victory is needed. I don't think any of us can easily comprehend what is ahead of us and what "victory" will look and feel like. Having to suffer losses will be more difficult to accept to those who will be unaware of what the war actually was. There will be people that complain about inconveniences and disruptions to their daily rituals, but there will also be people that feel like they took part in something tremendous.
My biggest concern is that this could all be a letdown in terms of how all-encompassing the awakening is.
Someone found a new word today.
Imagine how many deaths from 5 years of lock downs before getting a worse "vaccine?"
Now imagine that it was mandatory by law because there is no "emergency use" tag attached to it.
Expand your thinking. Think logically.

Freedom!
That's quite the sesquipedalian theory, in a doomer sort of way. The alternative is too vituperative for me to mention in mixed company.
