A lot of efforts become futile because of a lack of persistence. When you quit, you have indeed lost.
Also, to determine success or failure, one must understand the goal being sought. Do I think I can convince jmacusa to have a more correct view of history? Not really, because I perceive his history is all about his emotional need to believe what he believes.
You can't argue people out of an emotional view. There is no rhyme or reason to it, just as you can't argue a person into or out of love.
The heart wants what the heart wants.
In any case, this isn't about him. It's about making others aware of these covered up and clarifying parts of history surrounding that war, and it is about making people aware of how the corrupt deep state collusion between Washington DC and New York (same bastards we are still fighting today) got started.
Maybe it would work better if you stopped presenting your opinions as fact?
