> It seems to be another natural reaction, to forget the impact, it fades away. I think this is pretty universal for a society, our collective memories are pretty short and highly influenced by the newest threat. A perfect example of this is US law enforcement tracking of anti-government white supremacists in the 90s. After the OKC bombing, FBI dedicated significant resources to infiltrating and tracking white supremacist and extremist anti-government groups. Then 9/11 happened and the entire LEO and intelligence community put all of their weight into Islamist counterterrorism and they stopped tracking white supremacists altogether. 22 years have gone by and we’re just now starting to rededicate those resources back to white supremacy now that the movement is much more active.
