I am relatively historically literate. So my everyday conversation had references to past events. I'd say, in normal conversation, "Well that policy proved untenable in the teens," or "they did something similar, but more extreme, with anarchists in the 20s."
But I can't do that anymore.
Also, knowing a bit of history, I hate being told I am on the wrong side of it by people that know near nothing about it. Imbecile. I'm glad your legacy is nearly erased!
Hear you. Absolutely.
