They could have. But they didn't. Just like the Jan 6 protestors.

The difference is that the Boston Tea Partiers were on the winning side of history. If the British had won the American Revolutionary War, then we'd be talking about those anti-social racists who ruined a bunch of tea because they were pissy about paying for it.

And if the Jan 6 terrorists had succeeded in overthrowing the government, future generations might end up learning about them as revolutionary heroes.

This was my first thought too.

A quick browse of this community will show you that a large percentage of the users here fall into that category.

That's true. It would be cool if we could "subscribe" to a curated block list, sort of like we do with AdBlock plugins.

Liberal use of the block feature has made the Fediverse so much more pleasant. I can't recommend it enough!

So... you're saying someone in NASA has an alien for a grandma? Because that's all I heard.
