You've ended up in r/History, our purpose is to discuss past events about things that already happened. Which is why there's an article about things from the past discussed here.

What a pretentious comment. “No journalists should ever be allowed to talk about horrific acts of oppression we should all just forget it and move on” like wtf

"this is exaggeration to a hyperbolic endpoint"

"journalists want to perpetually re-prosecute generations-old crimes"

" they should be perpetually prosecuted for the women and children Shaka slaughtered"

It's actually an article in a magazine we're talking about here, not prosecuting people for genocide, but do go on about hyperbole. It's clear that talking about these crimes of the past is threatening to you. The question is why. I have a guess!

Lmao accuses someone else of hyperbole and then goes on to overuse the word 'perpetually' and make super vague accusations against the general term of 'journalists'. We see your slant, chief. You ain't slick.
