Interesting footnote, thanks for flagging that.
Alarm bells ring, whenever we see things like this, a systemic move to try to change historic information. What it does and has to do, is delete information. It deletes specifically all records of destruction, and traceability to destruction which we should accept evidence of colonialism definitely was.
The moderate mindset seeking minimal offence is arguably the most programmable imprintable / suggestible; academics have to be most susceptible. It's a requirement for efficient learning, we just rote learn without stopping to analyse, this is what rewards most highly in the system focused on energy efficiency.
We should be aware that commodification of education has served to system-blind us from former abilities to see things holistically, like folk with indigenous knowledge still do, we dismiss a lot of their customs as shamanic, or based on unprovable fallacy, but only when it suits our agenda of commodification, and its the same instinct to dismiss holistic thinking now, I think. If profit can't be made from it, or if it might impact profit, then just dismiss it.
Being overly sensitive to offence, and to causing offence, are really just politically correct, or "wokist" behaviours, which are a sort of sales pitch, to ensure we have maximum capability / creditability with those around us who we might wish or need to do business with in the future, for the purpose of us obtaining energy from them, in the form of money usually.
I think we are maybe coming to understanding this, but it's going to be a rough ride emotionally for those who might have already sacrificed a lot for it, never understanding what was really driving them/us, an emergent property in control of us, acting as programmable as LLMs, each of us, the whole thing comprising a kind of ancient Ai, with actually superintelligence and a will to coordinate us, so as to feed it, with energy. It lives on the energy of profit, which is dependent in turn on the energy of the planet, and this is the life you see being depleted. It's us, forever fulfilling a perpetual self-fulfilling prophecy resulting in energy slavery, where the choice for each of us is to keep doing it, enforcing scarcity on others and actually all of life.
We live in Enshittopia, mostly never understanding that, and never normally seeing the real world that exists outside it.
Maybe we are starting to all see it now. I really hope so anyhow.
Sorry very long responses to what you wrote, but thanks for inspiring me to think some more about it, and write some more.
