>Yes. The past is immutable. The point I am making is that the perception of the past is mutable. Much of history is not so much about the facts, which are generally fairly agreed upon and not so much rewritten, but on the narratives. For instance there is a war: the narratives are about which side is an aggressor or legitimate, and whether some actors are independent or malicious proxies. Facts are then presented in a way to reinforce the narratives, affecting their perception, and thus closing the circle. This is mostly the same issue with current news reporting.
