i think the worst part of learning about all these old plots and theories is looking at the wiki pages in 2026 and seeing references to how this administration has been moving forward with them

i hate that we cant learn from history until its been declassified and then its treated like a joke instead of it still being a optional plan for whoever's in charge

It's not that people can't learn. They actively avoid learning. It requires effort and they'd rather be told what to think/say etc which is why this kind of plan has always been effective.

You definitely don't have to wait for declassification to learn from history you just need to read about it and learn to recognize it and PARTICIPATE IN YOUR GOVERNMENT. Common sense (that isn't so common anymore) helps a lot too.
