I finished reading this last week, but this quote sticks in my brain.
"The whole notion of disruption is adolescent: It assumes that after the teenagers make a mess, the adults will come and clean it up.
But there are no adults. We own this mess."
- Timothy Snyder
On Tyranny, page 121.

It would, in many ways, probably be easier if the world actually disliked their stuff. That at least gives something to push against.
But we are all primarily battling obscurity and indifference. They are our competition, not one another.

On some level, every RPG design is an argument for how things could be better. Few things motivate design like seeing another game and being inspired by what it could be, but is not.
So you make this beautiful argument with your soul, and the overwhelming response is *always* to keep playing D&D
