Still as incorrect as the first time I refuted it. Did WWII happen despite WWI? Pretty sure they never forgot that, it wasn't even 20 years before them. The guy who started #2 even thought in #1, yet #2 still happened. So no, knowing about history did not stop those wrongs being repeated. Do neo-nazis exist because people forgot about the original nazis? Nope, they exist because of the original nazis. Did every Chinese imperial dynasty fall despite knowing how the previous one fell? I mean, the new one was literally involved in the fall of the old one, so they had to have known how that happened. Yet every single one still fell. Does racism and xenophobia still exist despite people knowing what that has lead to in the past? Yep, it most certainly does! Has what happened to Hiroshima and Nagasaki led to nuclear disarmament? Nope. It may mean no other nuclear weapons have been used since, but at the same time the knowledge of how much destruction they can cause has led to more countries wanting them and those with them refusing to dispose of them. So how exactly does knowing history prevent the mistakes of the past being repeated? |
Only not used against another nation. Something like 1700 nukes have been dropped since hiro-saki
