I denotatively agree, but I think that's okay (Am I correctly reading a disapproving connotation?)
it's okay to make some predictions about which direction morality and law will drift in the future. There are trends and patterns which are not too hard to extrapolate.
I do agree (denotatively and connotatively) with the other sentences you wrote - using "us" or "we" when there is obvious disagreement on a topic consists of declaring an in-group and I think drawing in-groups is usually bad.
Yes, I intend a negative connotation. The future hasn't happened yet. I count "the right side of history" as, at best an estimate which is expressed with excessive certainty, and at worst, a claim to validation from a victory which hasn't been won.
