So I thought about the confirmation bias affect and feel like it wasn’t overly relevant anymore even though it has been in the past. I do not doubt there were stories of the hero conquering savages but as we see it now those depictions are largely understood as the conquering nation being the bad guy.

If anything confirmation bias in today’s history books happens through omiting of unfavorable shit governments do.
