Lies in Time 2

In the period when the Lie is Truth; e.g., during the ante-bellum period in the USA when there was much religious support and reasoning for Slavery, we see how every society seems to have the ability to systematize its own evil impulses. America chose slavery, racism, genocide and exploitation.

However, it is extremely difficult to get rid of things that were once an integral part of the system: slavery lives on as racism, exploitation is alive and well, the paternal genocide exercised upon native Americans is transmuted into a tolerance for higher rates of death, crime, and executions among poorer peoples.
