I've been saying that for some time
...........................................................................................................................................................
It's written by the winners
To present the Correct narrative.
(The Soviets called it Pravda)
When the winners die.
History is revised by those then in power.
To present the NEW narrative.
(Pravda is revised to tell the NEW 'truth'.)
When those rulers loose power.
History is revised again.
Wash, rinse, repeat.
(we see that done constantly by the enemedia)
I was much too optimistic.
I neglected Hanlon's razor
- Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity
EVEN worse
by ignorance.
For example consider the word
What does it mean?
Is it a drink?
The rear feathers of a Rooster ?
A tale about a male avian
Or pornography?
no image needed
The visual you imagined will be haunt you forever
Now consider the entirety of the written word. In all languages and all formats back to the dim dark beginning of literacy.
What does that hieroglyphic mean for example.
Does anyone have any idea what it was intended to convey in the proper context? Really?
What WAS the proper context?
Are we hoisted on our own petard?
................
A test for the astute student. What does hoisted mean? What is a petard? What do the two words mean in the proper context?
.............
ANOTHER horrible idea.
Suppose history is like unto an onion?
(the veggie, not the website)
Suppose history is layered
Layers of incompetence, malice AND ignorance.
or perhaps it IS like the website (satire) also
add another layer!
Wrap your mind around that concept!
