    But remember that with the whole “the arch of history bends towards justice” it does not do it on its own. There is no rule in the universe that says that. It only bends if we are the ones actually bending it.

        Not necessarily. It could express that over time enough people will always “bend the arch”. It’s still not a passive thing that just happens. But even then it could make you complicit if you don’t understand that you can influence how fast it bends.
