“The Party member, like the proletarian, tolerates present-day conditions because he has no standards of comparison. He must be cut off from the past, just as he must be cut off from foreign countries, because it is necessary for him to believe that he is better off than his ancestors and that the average level of material comfort is constantly rising.”

Excerpt:

WASHINGTON - The U.S. Interior Department said a database revealing how President Donald Trump’s administration planned to revise information on key phases of ​American history at national park sites was deliberative and the employees ‌who released it “will be held accountable.”

An internal government database first reported by the Washington Post and posted on two public websites on Monday revealed the scope of the Trump administration’s ​effort to revise or remove information on African-American history, LGBT rights, ​climate change and other topics at hundreds of national park ⁠sites.

“The narrative being advanced is false and these draft, deliberative internal ​documents are not a representation of final action taken by the department,” ​an Interior Department spokesperson said. The National Park Service is part of the Interior Department.

Trump has targeted cultural and historical institutions - from museums to monuments to national ​parks - to remove what he calls “anti-American” ideology.

the narrative being advanced is false

And of course zero proof given with that because it’s a lie. FFS, why can not all people finally think first “show me the evidence” before just blatantly believing each dumb argument that they’re given?

Oh yeah, conspiracy idiots, that’s why

Anyone has a good idea how we can get a good way to have a reliable source of truth?

Even as “draft, deliberative documents” it’s a fucking outrage that even a single person in the department is even considering it. Heads need to roll for this shit.

They’re murdering and trafficking children, and heads haven’t rolled yet.

No American will do shit for this.

Billionaire sex predators are out of reach for most Americans to take direct action against. Display boards with inaccurate historical information and statues dedicated to the shitbags of history are easy to vandalize. Confederates have been crying about that second part for decades. And I’d imagine a fair amount of Charlie Kirk Memorial Highway signs already have bullet holes in them. It won’t thwart what they’re trying to do but you fight the battle by whatever means you have available.

Ain’t just Trump. It’s the entire administration and anyone that enabled them.

This is part of the issue. It’s systemic. We NEEDED to start stamping this out 20 years ago, but boiling the frog is effective at making well reasoned extrapolation sound like insanity.

Unless you are emphasizing how much the Confederacy got their ass handed to them, fuck off.

I wonder if the Chief of Security for DHS is involved? Iwona B. Horyn. How someone raises to the ranks of chief without any sort of digital footprint is odd enough, then its her name, which I dont think Moe would have even fallen for. https://www.dhs.gov/leadership
