The middle aged are the foundation of our modern culture and societies. At least ones we have very good records of.

Fair, but I just meant "Why are we still fighting the same battles for social justice and cultural progress as they were fighting 50 years ago, 1000 years ago, and 2000 years ago?"

Because evil happens -> people stop the evil -> people are happy for while -> people start forgetting about how bad it was -> evil starts happening again

Those that don't know history are doomed to repeat it
