I don’t wanna chalk it up to some psychological issue, but I think they are very much in denial about this and will say anything to absolve themselves of the responsibility they have to teach history before it repeats.
So instead, they rewrite history…
Which brings me to my next point. I also don’t want to chalk it up to some psychological issue because literally whitewashing history like this is an evil thing to do. It’s a choice they are making…
For some it's intentional and motivated by racism. For others it's probably just cold and calculated opportunism.
The latter don't really care as long as they profit politically or financially from such policies. It's like selling your soul to a devil, because "who cares".
Anyone supporting bullshit like that should experience few years as a slave to really see what the benefits are. Stupid assholes...
