Noted a couple comments recently that seemed reasonable, but are really these nearly perfect examples of exactly untrue statements. Curious. Here's one:
People harkening for an idealized past: one of the roots of totalitarianism.
Any basic thinking on some of the totalitarian revolutions gives this game away: they always say they are fighting the past, that they are innovators, which is why they need to be totalitarian. Soviet Russia is an obvious example, the French Revolution another, the Khmer Rouge, etc. Even Henry VIII saw himself as fighting his way forward over against forces of the past.
It's a strange process that drives people to say this sort of thing.
