History is highly-connected

2019-10-03 13:07:42 UTC  

To understand america's history you have to understand britain's history

2019-10-03 13:10:05 UTC  

and plus knowledge of world history can still be just as pertinent. World history shows us what systems, tactics and strategies fail and which ones succeed and it helps us better understand our enemies and those we have to compete with

2019-10-03 13:17:12 UTC  

I mean in Africa they have Griots who are travelling historians, Some of them recorded their history through metal working like benin and the yoruba and most of them had oral history
but yeah euros got to the nitty gritty of it

2019-10-03 13:25:56 UTC  

@babyfriend1 they just don’t want other people’s history of who they don’t like to be taught

2019-10-03 13:27:22 UTC  
2019-10-03 13:56:14 UTC  

@babyfriend1 probably seeing other people’s histories as not important perhaps

2019-10-03 13:57:53 UTC  

we’d never learn about Rome or Greece if we just only studied american history

2019-10-03 15:26:02 UTC  

If Teddy Roosevelt was the Republican nominee, he would have won 1912

2019-10-03 16:02:57 UTC  

I wouldn’t trust random griots as they call them with providing an entirely accurate historical account

2019-10-03 16:03:24 UTC  

They’re the ones responsible for all of this historical revisionism

2019-10-03 16:05:08 UTC  

I mean you can’t blame them for wanting to hype their ancestors

2019-10-03 16:05:18 UTC  

But we know better

2019-10-03 18:56:44 UTC  

But there’s also accounts by europeans when it comes to non sahel/griot areas like the Kongo, And Lower West Africa and like Southern Africa
Griots are mainly in like the Sahel, like in Mali n shit

But yeah I get what you’re saying, some stories may be exaggerated by them

2019-10-03 19:28:08 UTC  

But it seems like they(The Griots) are not trying to revise history or somethin, they aren’t making ridiculous claims about their ancestors or anything it seems.

Hmm

2019-10-06 02:55:03 UTC  

The Modern Warfare sequals were amazing

2019-10-06 02:55:13 UTC  

Remastered versions are shit

2019-10-06 03:09:22 UTC  

Only the first and second one were good

2019-10-06 03:09:53 UTC  

but then they shit the bed with the whole franchise pretty much

2019-10-06 03:17:12 UTC

2019-10-06 04:18:16 UTC  

Though, I suppose... this is somewhat historical haha

2019-10-06 10:28:45 UTC  

@Dr.Cosby Do you think we should finish the World War Trilogy?

2019-10-06 11:11:33 UTC  

Idk about "should" but who knows

2019-10-06 11:12:00 UTC  

I think mutually assured destruction is a good deterant

2019-10-06 11:12:12 UTC  

Seems to be working well for now

2019-10-06 11:37:39 UTC  

Yes

2019-10-06 11:38:01 UTC  

Just like the best film series that exist, the world should end in a Triologu

2019-10-06 18:32:25 UTC  

Albert Einstein said, "I know not with what weapons World War III will be fought, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones."

2019-10-06 18:33:00 UTC
