2018 isn't that far from ~200k years ago. People have always grabbed pitchforks and it is unreasonable to expect them not to. Only the comforts of civilized living gives us enough room to think about morality and act on it. If these comforts disappeared, it would take humanity less than a generation to go back to a time when people paid money to buy the best seat at a public torture/execution.
