You forgot the autistic one who only cares about details like who was the 22nd person to scrub their ass with the public brush in ancient Rome bath.

As someone whose autistic partner is writing an alt history scenario where the revolution of Baden in 1848-49 was successful and thus Germany was united peacefully?

Where is the “Genuinely enjoys learning history” and “reveres all eras, locations and time periods”

this is strangely accurate. Also, I didn’t know I was Autistic, but I clearly fit into Turbo Autist.

I kinda used to be 8 but I’ve fallen off as of late.
Need to get back to binging info about the one time an Ottoman flag was briefly flown on the island of Lundy in the Bristol Channel.

I can’t decide if this sub is mostly made by redditors or literal children, they overlap.

Alot of truth in this. But nr 1 in wondering about do you mean the type that is in a niche and has a massive superiority complex or more just someone pointing out a truth that most white American teens have only a euro centric historical view.
I mean what do you expect they are only taught that in schools and most English videos are about said history.

As I’m currently doing my masters thesis in history, I can concur that almost every history professor I have worked with have been chill and really awesome to work with. My thesis advisor is genuinely interested in my topic and it’s fun just doing the meetings and talking about the progress.
It’s also making me appreciate how much dedicated work goes into a single research project, and this is just a basic ass masters thesis as well.

10 does not avoid biais, but knows biaises are inevitable and therefore aknowledges his own biais in order to limit them. He does indeed post a Bsky thread every time a political figure uses an historical figure in a speech.Â
He also has not understood the difference between history and remembrance yet.

Can’t help but feel this is more than a bit biased. Seems written by a right winger (see caricature of left-wing historians) and a bit racist. (See disparagement of afro-caribbean studies and seems to think white people should only like european history or aren’t biased for only studying it.)
Also this isn’t even a history meme, it’s just 4chan BS about the current internet.

I don’t expect someone named Thurmond Fan to agree to this, but the 5th stereotype whilst existing is also a bit of a misunderstanding tbh. There are some academics, usually those applying critical theory, who try to re-examine historical figures as well as their modern portrayals. Often older generations of historians didn’t pay much attention to certain topics concerning minority identities that might deserve to be in the spotlight. And historians are quite careful usually applying modern labels retroactively to past figures, there is some evidence to suggest that for example that Frederick the Great may have had a romantic relationship with a man, same with Alexander the Great, but obviously there were differences compared to the modern identity and conception of homosexuality.
It is true there are some “woke scold” types who reject reading anyone who disagrees with critical theory scholarship, or don’t want to engage with “reactionary” historians who, in their view, simply reproduce biases that plague the field to this day, but I would hazard that this amount is much, much lower than the amount of people who utterly dismiss any critical theory based works as “communist/woke propaganda” without engaging with the substance of the arguments presented.
And to the last point, bourgeois doesn’t mean wealthy but private owner of the means of production, and yeah all academics are part of universities, which are, as all institutions in the modern world, bourgeois and are financialising more and more in light of budget cuts (Humboldt Uni literally is closing its archeology department bc of Berlin City budget cuts).I don’t think that’s unique to “leftist” academics nor is it really unique to any academic, they all are privileged and usually it’s these “woke” authors who will admit that the most.

ERM, ackshtualleyee, History is defined as being a detailed account of the past by a credible source. Ergo, this nonsense I just made up with about events that happened literal seconds ago is History, because I know I am credible. It’s everyone else that needs to prove they’re worth listening to!
