People haven't forgotten. Just now, I saw a very thorough breakdown on the history of the French Revolution, summarized down to social media length, by someone masquerading as a slime monster with a moniker about how they feel about less than stellar code.
Sure, not everyone remembers the specifics of how XYZ was achieved throughout history. Some willfully, others because the opportunity was taken from them.
