I kinda feel like this was part of the point Alan Moore was making with V for Vendetta Like the big shocking thing where V blows up Parliament is that erasing the past completely is the only way he can imagine British authoritarianism coming to an endhttps://twitter.com/HealthUntoDeath/status/1250695859349708800 …

Thing is tho the blowing up parliament thing was from a group of Catholics mad that their claimant to the throne wasn't on it, essentially. So in that sense it's not *that* transgressive. I mean England had a couple of conflicts over the next ~100 years over who would be king.

That said, I also don't think Americans (whatever our self-mythology) are quite as interested in blow-it-up as we say we are, because even our "revolution" didn't really do that at all.
