Ive spoken about the pendulum in many posts over the last couple years. the pendulum always swings back in proportion to how far it swung forward. That is my fear. It has swung very far left and if the backswing includes right wing death squads I want no part. Our biggest test will be temporing our response to include Justice without unhinged vengeance. If we cant find that balance, we are no better than they are.
Philosophical inquiry has forwarded the concept while historical context has confirmed it. Why would you bring physics into it? Did you take my comment literally?
I didn't disagree with anything you said, and I didn't downdoot you. I was just pointing out that we can control the swing of the pendulum, as I believe you were suggesting. I don't think you deserved any downdoots for what you said.
...the pendulum is preparing a return "arc"....

Luckily though, metaphorical pendulums aren't bound by the laws of physics.
I have to say I love your comment!
