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
and you basically get what happens in the Dark Knight
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
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
authorites need to be held accountable
you can't just let anyone pose as an engineer and build a bridge
you'll get people killed
the marxists have it right that a lot of things are just interpretation
but they go so far as to say theres no objectionable proof to anything
