an open, honest government where the declassification of documents is possible and even normalised regardless of how damaging they are for the image of said government is still beneficial for all of us

also, reiterating and proving commonly held beliefs is still beneficial for all of us, same way that actually researching things that everyone already thinks are true is still good

An open and honest government wouldn't have a need to classify documents... an open and honest government wouldn't wait 50 years to declassify those same documents. Nothing open or honest about this government either way... These documents are written by the perpetrators anyway...

thats all true to a point, but i still dont see any of it as a reason to actively argue against improvement
