Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.

George Orwell, 1984

Honestly frightening that you trumpet this as a good thing. All our governments fucking suck in their own ways, and much as I love living in the US, I’m not ashamed to acknowledge serious mistakes made in the past and present. Denial gets us nowhere.
