Anyone who claims to be ‘on the right side of history’ should be assumed to be a moral monster and treated accordingly. If you believe yourself to be ‘on the right side of history’, you can justify anything you find necessary to do to those who stand in the way of its realization – or who merely disagree with you. That justification is in fact the primary reason for their believing history has a ‘right’ side, and that they’re on it.
