    Why are so many absurd Money Python bits edit: about social justice issues set in the Middle Ages or Bronze Age Middle East still so relevant in 2024?

      The middle aged are the foundation of our modern culture and societies. At least ones we have very good records of.

        Fair, but I just meant “Why are we still fighting the same battles for social justice and cultural progress as they were fighting 50 years ago, 1000 years ago, and 2000 years ago?”

          Because evil happens -> people stop the evil -> people are happy for while -> people start forgetting about how bad it was -> evil starts happening again

          Those that don’t know history are doomed to repeat it

            I think that’s pretty dismissive of the real problem. The real problem is that we (humanity) have a large portion of our population actively working to promote regressive and/or outright oppressive ideologies.

              Because, IMHO, people forgot how bad those regressive tendencies since its been too good for too long unfortunately
