yes there are bad historians and trends in history

2020-03-14 22:13:22 UTC  

the fact that 'social history' is allowed to exist in academia...

2020-03-14 22:13:28 UTC  

tfw the earth is hollow

2020-03-14 22:13:33 UTC  

and a lot of historians have agendas

2020-03-14 22:13:37 UTC  

and take too much license

2020-03-14 22:13:40 UTC  

but then again

2020-03-14 22:13:43 UTC  

All historians have agendas

2020-03-14 22:13:47 UTC  

a lot of social scientists do that too

2020-03-14 22:13:54 UTC  

the problem is also rife in social science

2020-03-14 22:14:02 UTC  

all humans have agendas

2020-03-14 22:14:02 UTC  

that zoomer open a loot box or something

2020-03-14 22:14:26 UTC  

History is always laden with a narrative, like art or any form of expression.

2020-03-14 22:14:59 UTC  

it's not as if people are just taking historical writings at face value...

2020-03-14 22:15:06 UTC  

they are contextualizing them

2020-03-14 22:15:15 UTC  

there is argument

2020-03-14 22:15:29 UTC  

it is a fact that x person wrote y in z year

2020-03-14 22:15:39 UTC  

what exactly that means more than that is up for interpretations

2020-03-14 22:15:46 UTC  

and we have more and less likely interpretations

2020-03-14 22:15:52 UTC  

me when i get messi in a pack

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.

2020-03-14 22:16:16 UTC  

like what

2020-03-14 22:16:23 UTC  

and I mean within the field of history

2020-03-14 22:16:35 UTC  

but if you can do it better, by all means do so

2020-03-14 22:16:46 UTC  

I don't doubt that you could do it better than many

2020-03-14 22:16:53 UTC  

The formation of Europe and any of its early wars from the fall of Western Rome and the subversion of history from then.

2020-03-14 22:17:17 UTC  

We should look more closely at what really happened

2020-03-14 22:17:21 UTC  

is this about that conversation I had with those guys earlier?

2020-03-14 22:17:22 UTC  

Primary sources

2020-03-14 22:17:23 UTC  

i wish that guy could get as excited about dating a girl as he does with a new flavor of soy

2020-03-14 22:17:23 UTC  

who are you?

2020-03-14 22:17:30 UTC  

are you a regular user?

2020-03-14 22:17:49 UTC  

No. I haven't been online in over two years

2020-03-14 22:17:59 UTC  

ok, I had a similar conversation just a few days ago

2020-03-14 22:18:09 UTC  

Really? With who?

2020-03-14 22:18:16 UTC  

so what revelations do you have from examining the primary sources

2020-03-14 22:18:17 UTC  

I might know them

2020-03-14 22:18:29 UTC  

a fellow named "ayyylmao" and another named "blanc"

2020-03-14 22:19:22 UTC  

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.

2020-03-14 22:19:56 UTC  

@ayyycough are you in AshaLogos' riot server?
