      You asked why people care about it so much, and I’m pretty confident the reason is because we’re allowed to talk about it here. If we don’t, someone will forget about it. Those who don’t know history are doomed to repeat it.

      And yes, to your point, those who know history are doomed to watch others repeat it but remembering it is nonetheless valuable.
