    It feels very human to ignore the lessons of history because it didn’t happen directly to them.

      But its also very human to let perfect be the enemy of good, or to do irrational shit like declare a style of facial hair forever associated with evil because one evil guy used it (As opposed to associating it with say a famous comedian) like we’re afraid to say voldemort.

        This is a worthy take that is unfortunately quite rarely seen. People are just not rational enough.
