Comment on The duality of man

This is not related to the post. And pointless.

It isn’t possible to have a coherent political discussion without knowledge of the history that got us here. Dismissing it as pointless only ensures it will be repeated.

Bringing it up without a point is pointless.

Not wanting to hear the point being made doesn’t make it pointless.

Yes it is, the “reality” for 100 years ago was a lie.
Literally 100 years ago was the great depression. The side was “workers should be able to eat” versus “the workers shouldn’t have rights”
Fast forward 40 years and it was “it’s okay to sit next to black people” vs. “Races should not mix and any attempt to do so should be met with extreme violence”
