it's quite depressing how little people are engaged with really understanding history.
Life in the present would be so much better if that were the case.
Oh hum.... what ya gonna do?
Trump, Q-anon, and corona are all just going to be tiny little footnotes in the history books.
IF this is the spark leading to some big changes, I disagree.
It will be remembered.
(of course, 'footnotes in history covers a large span of time, so yes, inevitably so).
Do you remember Bill Clinton and his midnight basketball? or the Bill Clinton Curfew support? People think the media is only recently corrupted, it has been corrupt for a long time where it comes to reporting the news and questioning the actions of those in charge.
In 20 years no one will even know Q-anon existed, just my view of the state of current events becoming history.
I think the nature of changing media - from 'now' (internet archvies etc.) may alter the way 'recent history' is seen - less memory holing.
Less control by the previous gatekeepers of information.
