I did see that. I will say, as a history buff, what I find both fascinating and terrifying is that we are at a point in history where we, the people, are able to see so much current events in actual real time.
No more waiting for the newspaper or the pre-recorded news. The immediacy of media today has kind of forced a level of transparency we haven’t see before when considering events like the rise of a Hitler-type, the resurgence of white supremacist groups, police brutality, protests, riots, genocides, wars, etc.
These kinds of political acts we’re witnessing today were always happening, right? Just completely hidden from public view and delayed by days or weeks even if it is revealed to them. This hasn’t entirely changed either. I remember hearing about an Iraq War vet who came back to the States and saw a “breaking news” report about an operation happening “now”; except he was part of that operation that happened a year prior.
