People are talking about really wonderful interesting things, but I can’t even choose between those I’m thinking about.
Star Wars EU - because that’s what I see around. Lots of stupidity, evil and decay, but in the end there’s the sky and the life with all its beauty. The old part of it, which mostly was happening after Empire’s institution while the rebels were not something close to victory in anyone’s opinion.
Vacuum Flowers - that’s the “worse is better” evolutionary optimism. That it will all become only worse, there’s no good defeating evil, we will all die, but - life finds a way, humanity finds a way, and so on. It will go on.
Heinlein’s Door into Summer - some parts are too much like our reality.
Actually I think all 3 have the same general idea, I just can’t quite catch it.
“Wow, I can’t believe it, after all that sacrifice, we’ve won against the fascist empire!”
“Somehow Putrumpatine returned. :(”
Honestly though, I think we’re seeing a lot of the prequel trilogy ring true, especially since it has a lot of similarities to historical empire corruption and collapse.
Except the bad guys in government are ridiculously, cartoonishly obvious and don’t even need to hide anymore.

Funny, I’d have said we’re closer to the new Star Wars cinematic trilogy than the EU.
You think you’ve won, then a few years later, oh look, fascism is back and it’s killing people in job lots again.
