The myth is that history is immutable; fossilized events frozen in time as fact. The reality is that history is always at the mercy of successive generations. Skewed by the prevailing social/political/economic or religious zeitgeist of the future world in which historical facts are transcribed.
What remains fixed however are general trends as seen in the rear-view; that of the power given to control a populace stymied by apathy, lack of hope or even faith.
When a population forgets the power it has in sheer numbers to determine the quality of freedom they effectively assume the yoke of slavery. Extremists for justice or freedom will promulgate the notion that anarchic revolution is required to sever the grip of systematic control but the reality is that the key to a people's freedom of thought and action begins with the belief that it must be exercised regularly. In other words history has shown that subjugation by physical might alone is short lived when compared to control by mass consensus. The only way to force a population to fore go freedom and act against their own best interests is to control all facets of their environment and then remove all traces of that control.
