I saw a conversation here where someone thought homophobia wasn't that bad in the 90s.

I had someone else say they didn't remember any anti-Japanese racism in Australia in the 90s. I being on the receiving end of it would remember it pretty strongly, but to forget it entirely?

Just really poor memory

(History? I guess this is history subbear. Given how much people seem to misinterpret events happening now, what does that say about writing of events at the tim?)

It doesn't help that our current power structure is making a real effort to forget its crimes. I'm sure in a years time, all my lib friends will say that they were on the side of Gaza from day one.

The latest death panel episode talks about how the state is using its power to make people forget the uprisings of 2020 and the early pandemic responses (increased social safety net). It’s central to the project that we forget what is possible and what we achieved.
