Watching the movement to erase history makes me wonder.

I would like to think that if the version we got in our day was already fabricated by design, there wouldn’t be excessive need to bastardize it today
Unfortunately we don’t even have historians anymore, just activists

I was watching Dark Side of the Ring on Vice the other day. During of the promo prog propaganda pieces dude said history is a lie, so I choose to make my own history. 1984

There used to be a 4000 page thread around here with over 100,000 posts that taught us to question everything and even pointed us where to look for the right answers.

If people actually knew what happened to the signers of the declaration of independence....
If anything what we got was a sanitized version growing up. Those men and the men that fought in our great wars sacrificed much more than we will ever know. Those of us lucky enough to have known men that were knee deep in that shite have an idea but unless we were actually there we'll never really know.
I say all of this because whats happening now is so damn sad as a result.

My hardly-educated but well-read father told me some truths when I was very young:
- The winners write the history books.
- We don't want to know everything our country has done.
So, no, I have questioned it all my life.

And it's gone.
As I have been informed there are multiple other sites dedicated to just that thing.
Let it go here.

The Ukraine thing makes me wonder if the entire Cold War was a lie.

One of New Discourses (James Lindsay) podcasts a few months ago was titled "The Second Enlightenment" how basically the internet has brought down the curtains of protection for the gated institutions to deliver to everyone the message THEY want us to hear.
At one point he paraphrased Eric Weinstein in saying that the travesty of the 20th century is that we may never know it's true history.

Not really, but that was finished nearly 40 years ago.
I'm comfortable thinking that the revisionist movement had either not yet started or had not gotten a firm footing yet. After all, we had an active shooting range in the basement of our jr. high school. Where pre-teens were taught basic marksmanship and gun safety as part of the curriculum.

Yes. I’ve learned more about history after graduation than I ever learned while I was in school.

No branch of world history has been supressed as energetically or effectively as the history of the Americas before the nineteenth-century. The global contest for mastery of the American continent that began centuries before Spanish colonization, interested nearly every nation in Europe and Asia and involved some of the biggest battles ever fought, has been reduced to an incoherent tale of conquistadors and Indians.

If we went to war in WW2 for the "greater good" why did we fight for the side that killed 200 million people and still enslaves over a billion to this day. Its a simple question.

If you look at what happened to America after WW2, and at what we’ve become. Then we absolutely lost WW2.
The 20th century was a disaster in general though.
WW1 destroyed the West.

In my opinion history was never given the same significance as math or science not then and couldn't speak for now.
