Who is controlling the whole thing? The guilt, shaming, narratives....... Who benefits from us never knowing or even seeking truth about whether anything we are told about history is true?

The answer to that question is implied in my original post.
I phrased my post delicately to avoid being labeled and banned. There's probably very few here who don't know the answer to your question.
We can hope.
