It is about saying "This is how it always has been, so it must be right and good" - both of which are wrong.</p><p>It ignores the real experience of those who may have fought to change things. Of those who lived when things were different (better or worse). It removes any real consideration of "could it be different".</p><p>I think it is very clearly shown in the support for Capitalism: "We have always had this and it works, so don't challenge it".</p>]]></description><link>https://forum.fedi.dk/post/https://metalhead.club/users/SteveClough/statuses/116968334860923909</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://forum.fedi.dk/post/https://metalhead.club/users/SteveClough/statuses/116968334860923909</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[steveclough@metalhead.club]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 23 Jul 2026 08:25:48 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to There seems to never be an end to the barrage of people who need to re-write history to accord with their own ideology. on Thu, 23 Jul 2026 08:18:46 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p><span><a href="/user/remittancegirl%40mstdn.social">@<span>Remittancegirl</span></a></span> I spent a decade being chilled by how many people didn't care about Syria as it was playing out in real-time. (They stopped counting casualties for a long time.) One explanation is that most human beings can't comprehend numbers after a certain point, and it becomes too abstract to care. </p><p>Another explanation is that we don't talk about things enough because we want to focus on how much better everything is now.</p>]]></description><link>https://forum.fedi.dk/post/https://apobangpo.space/users/dnkboston/statuses/116968307191389222</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://forum.fedi.dk/post/https://apobangpo.space/users/dnkboston/statuses/116968307191389222</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[dnkboston@apobangpo.space]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 23 Jul 2026 08:18:46 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reply to There seems to never be an end to the barrage of people who need to re-write history to accord with their own ideology. on Thu, 23 Jul 2026 07:59:43 GMT]]></title><description><![CDATA[<p><span><a href="/user/remittancegirl%40mstdn.social">@<span>Remittancegirl</span></a></span> </p><p>The funny thing is, denialism is largely unnecessary.
