The new left hates history, considering it to be created by white men and a "tool of patriarchal oppression." 3. History also shows that Marxism doesn't work, whereas the left tends to prefer ideology to actual fact. 4. The new left doesn't care all that much about empirical facts anyway, as their movement is driven mainly by emotion.Paññobhāsahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14148206217028034038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916689081082263495.post-17357070243620792652017-08-31T11:15:27.077-07:002017-08-31T11:15:27.077-07:00This post is excellent reading (plus your comment)...This post is excellent reading (plus your comment); but how long do you think it will take regular Americans to realize how brutal and how dangerous Antifa movement truly is?<br /><br />Like you say, no media organization will identify Antifa as that: All the media do in this case, is hype Antifa, since they are all so Anti Trump right now~<br /><br />Excellent post, friend~!The Local Malcontenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09074133807214264233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5916689081082263495.post-80018439065694070272017-08-26T06:57:05.184-07:002017-08-26T06:57:05.184-07:00Historians could easily put to bed the false rumor...Historians could easily put to bed the false rumors told about the Founders.<br /><br />They could easily put a significant barrier on all of the book burning aka monument crashing that is currently going on.<br /><br />They could set the record straight about Communism, about a lot of ills in our society.<br /><br />Instead, they do nothing. At best they do nothing and at worst, they pick sides. Both sides are wrong here and there's no honor in either one. Fascism is evil, communism is evil.<br /><br />If you're sitting there watching the news and disapproving of what you see, don't blame the journalist. That's not to say that they aren't guilty, but the real problem is most likely a historian.<br /><br />If you want real solutions to real problems, step one is diagnosing the actual problem. Chasing symptoms of problems just does not work.progressingamericahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17926524162867559025noreply@blogger.com
