yes there are bad historians and trends in history
the fact that 'social history' is allowed to exist in academia...
tfw the earth is hollow
and a lot of historians have agendas
and take too much license
but then again
All historians have agendas
a lot of social scientists do that too
the problem is also rife in social science
all humans have agendas
that zoomer open a loot box or something
History is always laden with a narrative, like art or any form of expression.
it's not as if people are just taking historical writings at face value...
they are contextualizing them
there is argument
it is a fact that x person wrote y in z year
what exactly that means more than that is up for interpretations
and we have more and less likely interpretations

The primary form of dissent is to start with not agreeing with their history. Any counter ideas and narratives are layered upon a counter history.
like what
and I mean within the field of history
but if you can do it better, by all means do so
I don't doubt that you could do it better than many
The formation of Europe and any of its early wars from the fall of Western Rome and the subversion of history from then.
We should look more closely at what really happened
is this about that conversation I had with those guys earlier?
Primary sources
i wish that guy could get as excited about dating a girl as he does with a new flavor of soy
who are you?
are you a regular user?
No. I haven't been online in over two years
ok, I had a similar conversation just a few days ago
Really? With who?
so what revelations do you have from examining the primary sources
I might know them
a fellow named "ayyylmao" and another named "blanc"
To be honest I'm active in AshaLogo's Riot server where there is a section where we talk about this often, specifically subverted history.
@ayyycough are you in AshaLogos' riot server?
