I Left My Heart At Potsdam

Every subversion of freedom, no matter where it occurs, brings the goal of Communist world hegemony closer to realization. Call me Mel. 29, Maine, USA.

historians be like

[glorianas]

the way people lump historians together as all thinking alike is frankly bizarre, not just because historians infamously disagree about everything, but because historians are just people who go to school and learn to study history and all carry their own opinions on things and so obviously can look at events in history and come out with very different interpretations of it, the idea there’s some Big History influencing them to fall in line and repeat the same thing is not true and no one should be spreading it because that is some deep alt right bullshit

Also there is like… SO MUCH HISTORY and historians have specific fields of study. There is no historian who knows everything about every time period. You ask someone who studies Ancient Rome to tell you about revolutionary France and they’re probably not gonna have much to say! Hell, even within the same time period there are different areas of study! One historian might focus on military campaigns while the other is focusing on agricultural changes. Yes the fields overlap, but they’re still different areas of study.
