Déjà vu versus Jamais vu

There are certain individuals that have discerned a certain repetition as regards the current political climate to earlier manifestations.

Others, of a different political flavor, see no similarities.

Both will defend their position Ad nauseum and of course one of them will be a minority opinion. The majority opinion will then become the correct History and the minority opinion revisionist History. Roles can also reverse when the revisionist become "power brokers" and their outlook becomes the prevalent view.

Is Truth the middle of these poles or even on the axis.? Will truth ever be known or will the winners always write the History?

I believe truth will win, if we listen to the dissenters past and present.

There isn't a "correct history" for anything. To this day, there are unresolved questions and debates about wars that were won years ago. To some, GW2 and 3 were engineered by the Initiative to annihilate the competition. For others, the League and Aegis were plotting against the Initiative and WUT had to defend itself. So on and so forth. The wiki history is irrelevant and so many times just plain wrong. A noobie might read it but the thing is that when they join an alliance, they'll most likely absorb that alliance's account of the past. Asking Electron Sponge and Jason8 about the disbandment of \m/ will give you two different stories. I've been exposed to both stories, having been in \m/ and Bel Air with J8 and being in Vox and tLC with Sponge. Of course, my perspective being a member of \m/ when it disbanded puts limitations on what I am willing to believe. The same goes for all of us. Archon and Crymson will never agree on things about this war. I will never agree with Grub on who was at fault for the NpO-\m/ war. mhawk and Londo will never agree on whether TPF was spying on Athens or not. Etcetera. Point is, there is no correct or revisionist history. Each and every one of us has our own accounts of the past that aren't identical to any other's. Especially not the wiki's version.

This. And even a third party looking in that has both sides of the story will still have a trace of bias because of the alliances they have been in and who they have been allied to in the past, and in the present. So i dont think there is a "truth", in the way i think you mean it to be, because no one is gonna be dead in the middle of the two opposing groups.

Edit: "you" being the OP
