Cancel Culture - The Story
2020 was the most crazy and amazing year for science fiction.
Wait. It wasn’t fiction was it?
So many events that actually happened were absolutely preposterous! It’s hard to imagine Gene Roddenbury of Star Trek fame, and Ray Bradbury, author of Fahrenheit 451 and other science fiction works, would not have penned stories or scripts about what’s happened in 2020.
Before proceeding, I want to make it perfectly clear that I believe that the United States of America has numerous social problems. Furthermore, not for one second would I suggest or imply that what’s happened doesn’t matter, nor would I intentionally make light of these events.
However, the use of protests, demonstrations and riots by various groups, to bring attention to their issues, in my opinion, has weakened and diluted their cause.
As a society and culture, Americans must not forget or erase our history.
The only way to not repeat adverse history with all its atrocities and injustices is to preserve the record of them.
When historical monuments are removed and/or destroyed, textbooks are rewritten, removed, or destroyed, history stops.
“History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
“He who controls the past controls the future. He who controls the present controls the past”
“The party seeks power entirely for its own sake. We are interested solely in power, pure power.” -- George Orwell, 1984
Accurate history must be preserved and available to the citizens of the world.
