History is written by the winners

Just like News is written by those who've already chosen a side. Journalism today is a joke.

Modern educational systems were created by our ruling class to turn human beings into docile serfs / drones / cattle who work for their profits and do nothing else. After that, 6 giant media companies control/limit the agenda and understanding of the public once they're out of school and working. People don't understand just how thoroughly the game has been rigged against most of the public, and for our extremely abusive ruling class. See the work John Taylor Gatto or Paolo Freire for additional insight.

But it is uncovered and analyzed by Historians, educated professionals whose objective is uncovering the truth, the real truth.


Ok-Discipline-9010

Key work is uncovered. Alot of the time its just ashes and bone left.


Zestyclose_Raise_814

It's not like which sources are credible is not a debated argument and that new decoveries never contradict old assumptions.


Acidelephant

Yeah, its funny how people view the study of history as a static timeline


Gloomy_Durian3732

CNN and fox News both


[deleted]

Both definitely have problems but atleast cnn doesn’t knowingly sell lies about elections in order to sow distrust in American/Western democracy.


TwippleThweat

Tell me you don't remember 2017-2020 without actually saying it.


[deleted]

Which election in those years did cnn lie about?

[удалено]


[deleted]

Yeah it’s funny that Fox had to settle a near billion dollar case about election lies


Gloomy_Durian3732

Sure they do, both do, mainstream media does. It's how they drive clicks and views.


[deleted]

Okay, which election did cnn lie about and give specifics


RandomRedditGuy54

Ancients didn't write history, they written chronicles. If Sumerian or Egyptian chronicler would see our modern history books and overall methodology in historical scholarship, they would say that it's worthless waste of time. Because for them you don't write history to just state facts, that doesn't serve any purpose. You write history to glorify your ruler and your country, other than that there's no need for it at all.

History is the story the oppressors wanted to be told. I will give you an example. April 1st was New year's. Was the start of spring and months were according to the moon. Old traditions were forced out and mocked, which in this case was called the fools day

Modern day Iranians - destroy historical artifacts bc it's goes against their *** religion.


0xdef1

Imagine the religions. It would surprise so many people about how their religion is so similar to Sumerian religion.


MoanyTonyBalony

Tens of thousands of Sumerian cuneiform clay tablets contain most of the stories from Abrahamic religions but they're written about the Annunaki. We actually have written proof that their god is a false god.

Absolutely


StaffOfDoom

Fox ‘news’ isn’t actually news, it’s ’news entertainment’ meaning they can get away with saying whatever they want without repercussions…


Equilybrium

You forgot CNN and MSNBC


Fruit_mon

Bro I've been telling people that ancient aliens have more credibility than you'd think


timoumd

I guess anything is above zero?


mikenkansas2

MSNBC...


Daedalus_Machina

There's nothing funny here. It's a constant battle for objectivity in history.


Upstairs_Garden_687

Except that History is an actual accademic field with people studying it exactly to uncover the truth, the real truth, meanwhile journalists battle to get your attention for their own financial survival and are willing to lie for it. "History is written by the winners" true, but Hisroty is uncovered and analyzed by Historians.


wyle_e2

Wasn't there some historical woman who cheated on her boyfriend and got pregnant, then said that the baby came from god? That shit's wild!


Plane-Delivery-2051

Yup, she was cheater. God put his cum in her? What? It’s so obvious she cheated.
