Anyone interested in history better start collecting actual tangible history books before they're all destroyed, and read & learn from those books, before TPTB use computers & internet & ai to rewrite past history to change & omit past historical events for their own nefarious purposes.

    I'm not trying to be contrarian or defeatist here, but would it really be useful if basically everyone else "knows" the official story?

    I can 100% see why it would be important to fight for and preserve, but on the individual scale it looks like a steady train to being that weird guy who [hates our country / is a terrorist / believes our people have ever been baddies / etc]

    ... Yes?

    Public knowledge drives public opinion and decision making.

    A lack of knowledge of history makes us more likely to repeat history. Rewriting of history is usually a tactic that prevents mistakes of the past from being taught or learned, often for a direct benefit to an entity.
