Here's another short video from Professor Tad Stoermer, majoring on the 1789 Bill of Rights as an act of resistance against the possible tyrannical abuse of the United States Constitution. He talks about the present day, and the very obvious 20th century regimes which re-created a mythical past to suit their own agendas. It's part of the centuries of social toxicity in Ireland too.
As he says "it's not just about making up history, it's about selectively remembering the parts that justify your power ... things were better back then because the right people were in charge, and we need to put them back in power".
Maybe as humans we all do that to some extent in our own individual lives. But when "power" does it, the results can be catastrophic.
