In other words, history should be curated to not offend your sensibilities as opposed to studying what actually took place.

I mean... sounds about white.

It IS what is happening. The achievements of the Tuskegee airmen are being purged from history, as one example.

You didn't open the article, are a bot, or are not an American.

They tried to erase the Enola Gay. Do you know any US history at all?

So the Enola Gay will cease to have existed? I don't understand your logic.

How can any MAGAs defend this???

The dumbest people are running our country. It’s the same mentality behind the spate of firings, just grab everything that triggers a certain keyword and toss it.

Is this supposed to be sophisticated AI? I’m not impressed.

The mental gymnastics is strong with the you, son.

Too bad they didn’t stick the landing.

This was always the plan.

And what's more, MAGA complains that taking down a Confederate statue is erasing history. Ridiculous.

It's appalling. It is also a waste of resources. First, it has to be defined as a work project to be done with a plan to do it. Of course they are using technology (sounds like the idiotic keyword searches they have used elsewhere) but then to avoid being entirely stupid they have to one way or another review image content (so they don't remove the Enola Gay photo, tagged because of the word "gay"). Someone has to also write a report to be reviewed by someone higher in command to be reported up the chain to confirm the work has been done (because, you know, we want to be sure even military people aren't just getting paid to sit around doing online shopping). Total, pointless waste.

Maybe we are living in a Vonnegut novel.

It is not erasing history. It is fixing how some have continually fixated in framing history in terms of immutable characteristics, as opposed to individual character and merit.
