For a forum that complains that outrage culture is not a real thing and that they're just reacting appropriately to events as they happen, that defence rings slightly hollow when you're actively dredging up interviews from the early 70s to get mad about today.
The quotes supposed to be "The past is a foreign country; they do things differently there", not "The past is a foreign country so I will impose my cultural standards on them and judge them as pieces of shit becuase they are different"
