@dgoosens @rbreich History is written by the victors.

And how many murderous conquerors from 1000 years ago do we deify today?

@Crell

you are obviously right... and I feel bad every day for the drama that is happening in the US... many friends are directly impacted...

in the US, and everywhere in the world... cuz quite frankly, it's a f*** up situation in a lot of places

@Crell We are just 80 years past the last overthrown fascist government. Or: 4 generations.

Did we learn from that? Seemingly No.

So why should that be better after 50 generations?

Humans are the only species on this planet that are capable of learning from the mistakes of earlier generations and happily repeating them.

While at the same time calling themselves "homo sapiens sapiens"... 🤣

It'd be funny wouldn't it be so sad...
