history is often presented as if the evil done within it was simply a misunderstanding of norms, something we've evolved past over time, but when you read history, a lot of the time what happened was that it was just easier to hide things for longer
i suspect this period of time, post-invention of the mass media, will be seen as one of the most amoral periods in history, simply bc ppl had the information quickly and immediately, and still chose the things they chose
