    The bad guys also learn. They learn how to replicate shit while having a plauible deniability baked in to avoid any real consequences.

    It’s the cult that wholesale buys into these tactics that create a barrier for any progress or justice.

    It’s hard watching the people around me make the same mistakes they always make and complain about the same mistakes they always make.

    It’s hard watching large organizations and states make the same mistakes they always make and blame everyone else for the mistakes they always make. Even when history proves them wrong.

    I can never understand why people argue for 8+ billion people on this planet when we collectively refuse to learn from mistakes.

    I’m tired…

    It’s honestly agonizing.

    Some of it is just natural aging and realizing fellow adults don’t grow up intellectually with you. Like how can a 35yr old not know that Alaska isn’t an island?

    But then some of it is societal regression via memes and lack of pursuing further education.

    So the 2 things together have me pretty pissed

    Problem with learning history is that if you have the bare minimum of morals and concept of fairness, USA ends up looking like the root cause for many current global problems. Look a bit further back, and UK and parts of Europe gets iffy.

    Those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it. Those who know are doomed to know that it’s repeating.

    Somehow, I like their phrasing a little better. Feels more like what I experience reading the news.

    Or science. Or technology. Knowing things is so fucking depressing because you’ll have your family members saying/believing the most damning things and there’s literally nothing you can do to teach them.
