History is the bulwark against making the same mistake over and over again. Good history retells past events without over-interpretation so that the viewer may learn rational judgement and appreciation of former lives and struggles of generations past. The 'silly' reviews are not silly, they are actually deadly earnest in their interpretation of the world and attempt to place a modern politicized prism over past history. 
Look at the damage done by the Soviets and their allies in academia: they inserted language which echoed the Marxist dialectic. The terms 'Agricultural revolution, Industrial Revolution, etc' were literally suggested by Communist sympathizers to create the impression that past events were connected to their Marxist aspirations, that it was all part of a historical chain of events destined to set Socialism in place using quasi scientific principles. It was propaganda then, it is naked propaganda now. SJW types insert their views into every aspect of life to deceive.
