I find the opposite more annoying. If your memory of those events is accurate there’s plenty of things to point to to back it up.

But then you have older people like my father who…I don’t know, something has completely rewritten their memories of significant events to the point where he claims many things happened differently than verifiable recorded history. It’s impossible to argue with that because of him seeing me pointing out that’s not true as an attack and accusing him of lying.

That’s what they want you to think.

Sadly, “they” has shifted from “the gubment” to “the Jews”.

It was weird to read about protests that I attended that were completely different from my experience. That was the first time I realized that no one in the media necessarily eventually gets the story right.
