Watching corrupt people control weaker people isn't interesting to me but the way, We the people are fighting back is. Most people looking forward to what the future holds vs some being hell bent on the traditions of living in the past. That's what is dividing us.
Knowing now how the library of Alexandria fell, the Crusades were started and how Hitler got control, because we're witnessing it in real time, might be considered interesting. It is to me.
