re: #502 Unshaken Defiance

In a way it’s just not relevant. A government that steps beyond the pale like slavery or genocide can and should be wiped from the face of the earth. The only history we need is of a cautionary and educational nature. We can discard the good with the bad. Waves or rose tinted nostalgia come and go. That most basic morality is static. No slaves no genocide. The good in a people can re emerge with time. Germany is a fine example.

Doesn’t this basically describe almost every government that existed before the 20th century?
