I agree with you 100% that evil people should be eliminated and that in an adult society we should strive for absolute truth really regardless of the cost.
But in your example of our ancestors, those criminals were almost always known and recognized as being bad people, or they were foreign enemies who represented a dire threat to the society. They often weren’t built up as heroes by the media for 30 or 40 years and weren’t glorified as saviors. So many normies base their whole moral code on some of these demons. Imagine your dearest friend of 40 years turned out to be the devil, after you advocated and defended them forever. And then you turn around and your other friend also turns out to be a demon, etc.
And maybe that would not derail you, because you are not a regular person. But it would deflate and depress so many people, especially people who get depressed and aimless simply because they start going bald or gain some weight. I don’t see how that is a baffling thing to consider. For example, it still isn’t admitted that John McCain may’ve been put to death by the military for treason. Even that has to be hidden from the general public. Now imagine revealing that cancer was generally caused by the medical industry or that the covid vaccine was the killer. These types of things sadly cannot be admitted to. The lie is way too big.
