there was a period when it was ok, but hte marxist moved in and re-wrote all the articles
I still have an old article on the peasants revolt saved
well, the academic community as a whole suffers from the problem that those papers that are POPULAR receive the most citations
it was rewritten and framed from a marxist perspective
and the more citations a paper has, the more credibility it is give
so it's a feed-back loop
it was essentially an anti-tax protest but the wikipedia article now states it was an early example of marxist revolution lol
yea the sources they accept are left wing media sites
which use wikipedia as their source
that drives me crazy when people go back and spin events to suit a particular narrativ
i guess that is history in a nut shell
the trick to learning history is learn which perspective the person who wrote it had and interpret it with a grain of salt.
well, there is a difference between documenting an event and interpreting an event
there is a fine line
from one side they were attacked, from the other they were attacked
used to be because it took TIME and MONEY to compile the history, there were MUCH fewer sources and thus they were held to a higher standard
when less people controlled the narrative it was easier to control
today, the internet devalues things like truth and art
its easier to read history as objectively as possible. the treaty of versaille crippled germany to the point of desperation
it was HARDER to control actually
dont salt the earth
you have to go back to the 1800s to understand ww1 and 2
the abandoned child will burn his village to feel its warmth, etc
how is it harder to control?
that is why the church and monarchy didn't like the printing press
because if you are a gate-keeper and everyone has to come to you for information, all eyes are on you making it VERY hard for you to lie and get away with it continually
they didn't want to lose control over the narrative
now we see the same thing today
theres also arguments of authority
the mainstream media is losing control of the narrative
most of what we know is an argument of authority
I think it is very easy to lie not hard
i have no idea if the earth is flat, but scientists tell me it isnt
so i believe them
one thing i came to realize is that people are stupid and believe anything
authorities are important. otherwise there is no true nor is there any facts
i have ways i guess of proving it logically, but im not bothered enough
the moon is made of cheese
prove me wrong
