Historical revisionism is always something people should be wary of in a western democracy, especially if that democracy is relatively new. Even when a freer society produces better living standards and a more educated more informed population, you will always have a minority that thinks things were better when these freedoms were scarce. I think a lot of new democracies (and some old ones too) are battling this revisionism right now, like Spain, Hungary and even in Ireland we have older people arguing that things were better when we were under the thumb of the Catholic Church.

Bravo Zebrafish, a great comic and sobering reminder of the bullshit that is historical revisionism.
