    When in grade school, studying WW2 everyone was asking how things were able to get that bad.

    Now, we’re witnessing it, being fully documented in real time and stored on the Internet and social media.

      That’s a problem, history seems to be more about “here’s the battles” not “here’s why the battles happened”.

        Shame that, the why and causality of event to event is, to me, the most fascinating part of history. That, and the “oh, they weren’t so different :D / oh, we’re not so different -_-” moments.

          Future child: so how was this battle caused by wokeness?

          Them: homosexuals wanted to keep their right to get married so we showed up in masks and harassed them to the point we started killing them.

      When I was in high school, I was asking my history teacher if Hitler was considered a “good Christian” by contemporary theological standards. I was that dude.
