You have to listen to garbage to find the gems.
Really? They look like just stupid mean teenagers to me.
You never know bro.
How is simping them any different from calling them "basically Hitler from the past"? If you're talking with your feelings, what you are saying is by definition not-objective, like with simps, but also with haters. I doubt you or OP are any more informed on history than the average Lemmy rando. By starting with the desired conclusion, rather than with arguments, the discussion is already beginning on subjective terms.
They are conflicting in some things but agree on many things...
If this is your definition of "objective", something you can say about the books in the Bible, sure bro I guess. To me objective means it can be empirically proven: 2+2=4. Earth is the third planet from the Sun. Water at sea level boils at 100c. Etc.
If you think the one of many competing, historical narratives that you or your culture chose are "objective truth", sure bro, that's how politics works.
What do you mean "objectively studying history", what is objective about History? What you're studying is a narrative, that has been put together by experts, based of what remains from that past. There is nothing "objective" about History, it is an educated guess. Even written records are narratives told from the perspective and culture of the ancient writer.
This is to say that, the reason we don't judge historical figures through a modern lens is that to do so is to ignore history. It doesn't matter what your think about Alexander the Great, it matters what his contemporaries (both friends and enemies) had to say about him (objectively biased narratices). For another example think about what the Greeks wrote about the Persians during their many wars, and vice versa. They are conflicrive accounts. Both biased and political. So again, what history is correct, objective?
I thought the facility was fake. XD
Ikr? This blew my mind. So simple. So elegant. This is it.
For some reason it makes me feel extra icky that he referred to her as "our great first lady...". A title she doesn't have, no matter what he dreams. instead of just "my wife Melania", or "my beautiful wife Melania". Is he into cucking or something?
Pretty trash points ngl. Written from privilege imo.
