You think Arab Spring was good? For whom?
5 comments

The parent comment did not say anything about whether or not it was good or bad, simply that it was historic and that the record of it should be preserved
> that the record of it should be preserved

by whom?

qbasic_forever suggested the Library of Congress. You could read his comment you know.
I didn't say anything either way. I think everyone can agree that losing a huge record of how it happened is a big loss.
It seemed to work out alright for Tunisia.
Don't they have massive youth unemployment and emigration?

How was their youth employment before the Arab spring? Hadn’t that been a problem in that region for decades?
for historians
Of course it was good.
