Revisionist Movement

The Revisionist Movement refers to a widespread political movement starting some time in the early 2100s where a political party would sow confusion and doubt by literally revising history and fact within the known records. Enabled by the talking heads in the news media who insist on false-equivalence where two sides are treated equally, no matter how ludicrous one claim may be.
This led to a particularly reviled time in history known as the Aevum Purgans, the Age of Purging. During this time, with basic facts distorted on a regular basis, exact or even approximate dates are difficult if not impossible to validate. It was this obscene misuse of political power and defiling of the public discourse, in addition to the various other excesses of the ruling class of the time, which would spur on the Titanic Revolution.
