Yup, like those that cheered when the guillotine wheeled out, wove their little red fabric instead of saying "wtf? this isn't humane, this isn't human!" Like those who'd bow to kings who claimed godhood and fought to the death for them. Like those who were burned at the stake not because they were witches, but because those in power wanted to claim their possessions. And those from time immemorial who made slaves of their fellow man just to make their lives easier... and I'm not talking current as in the US and that paradigm, I'm talking the Romans Spartacus fought against. I'm sure many of our ancestors were good people, victim of their circumstances... but there's just as many who weren't. So we learn from them, from their mistakes... but it doesn't mean we have to revere them in the "those were the good old days" past. They weren't so good, IMO... nothing worth emulating as a path forward. We KNOW better now.
