He's No Pericles... But Neither Are Any Of the Rest of Them...
Over the past few days, the whole world watched as the Canadian Parliament gave a standing ovation to a known Nazi soldier. Or... at least they should have known that he was a Nazi. You know... and actual real-life Nazi. Not one of their political opponents that was labeled as a Nazi because they want to be insulting and yet seem suave and politically bourgeoisie.
Nope.... an actual Nazi. And an actual standing ovation.
Now, look, we could spend a lot of time detailing how insulting this was to those of us of the Jewish faith, or... we could spend a lot of time discussing the ridiculous way that the Parliament and the Prime Minister have reacted, or technically attempted to react by blaming literally everybody - including Hitler - except themselves for the fiasco.
In the end though, the reason that we study history is to inculcate societal values and traditions that are useful to a culture. Ideas and lessons that help to prevent that society from making a giant ass of itself on worldwide television.
The kind of lessons that we find so rarely in history, and somehow manage to forget or ignore them anyway.
Which is why I can say without any hesitation or concern that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is certainly no Pericles.
Then again, neither is anybody else who thinks that they are a "leader" in today's world...
